This group had an excellent panel discussion about their publication, _[AI + OER Case Studies: A DOERS Project](https://open.library.okstate.edu/ai-oercasestudies/)._
The case studies are organized around three key ideas:
- Shared Values
- Shared Practices
- Shared Future
I have a lot of thoughts that I have not had time to process, so for now Iām just sharing resources!
Katya Mueller shared the [Open Pedagogy Incubator](https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/open-pedagogy-incubator)
Judith Sebesta shared the course [Navigating the Future: Open Education with Generative AI](https://lor.instructure.com/resources/aa359e9fae2b44ed92ce8b14158b285b)
Tiffani Tijerina shared the book [Open Technical Communication, 2e](https://alg.manifoldapp.org/projects/open-tc-2e) and Jeanne Beatrix Lawās [āRhet Shotsā](https://prompt4all.wixsite.com/prompt4all/post/rhetorical-rhet-shots-mastering-the-recursive-dynamics-of-the-rhetorical-rhet-shot-prompt-engin) and [Ethical Wheel of Prompting](https://jeannebealaw.substack.com/p/finding-the-sweet-spot-between-human)
In the Q&A, Liza Long shared Stanfordās [Co-STORM](https://storm.genie.stanford.edu/).
I feel like I missed a ton of good stuff in the moment. Does anyone else have takeaways from this session?
