Welcome and Introduction: Come for the Student Savings... Stay for the Academic Freedom

Open Educational Resources are gaining traction in higher ed because they lower the cost of attendance for students and enable faculty to fully customize course content. A growing body of research also demonstrates that use of OER is associated with improved student outcomes and retention. This presentation will consider how ideas from the open education movement intersect with creative instructional design.

Creating Augmented Reality Experiences

While Virtual Reality completely immerses the user in a computer-generated environment, Augmented Reality permits the viewer to see a virtual overlay on the real world. Text, still images, video clips, sounds, 3D models and animations can all be virtual objects accessible in the overlay, ideally coexisting within a real-world environment. Learn how to create these experiences in a hands-on workshop.

Open Educational Resources: Adopt, Adapt, Author

Get ready to redesign your course with openly licensed materials! This session will prepare attendees to understand the nuts and bolts of adopting OER as-is; consider the technical and licensing requirements to adapt existing OER; and determine when authoring new OER is an appropriate solution to course design needs. Hands-on practice will prepare attendees to take the next step in adopting, adapting, or authoring OER.

Beyond resources: Open Educational Practices

Open educational practices are pedagogical strategies that use the affordances of open licenses to get students involved in creative activities with real-world audiences. David Wiley is credited with coining the term "open pedagogy" and contrasts this type of assessment with “disposable assignments” that have no value once a grade is assigned. We'll use this workshop time for hands-on practice applying open practices to an assessment that you currently use.

Design Thinking

Using Empathy, Ideation, and Experimentation, Design Thinking is a holistic approach to problem-solving. The Design Thinking process is a structured framework for identifying challenges, gathering information, generating potential solutions, refining ideas, and testing solutions in an iterative way. Design Thinking can serve equally well as a framework for course design or as a roadmap for an activity or group project. Come learn more about this approach and potential applications for it in the classroom.

Tapas: Artificial Intelligence

While it's easy to get swept up in what AI is not (sentient machines replacing people) it's just as important to know what it is (intelligent machines remarkably good at one thing). We'll also take a closer look at what AI means for education and research, the jobs it will likely eliminate, and the new ones it will likely create.
