Keynotes
AI and the Commons, Jennryn Wetzler, Director of Learning and Training, Creative Commons
Jennryn will explore how AI systems rely on our shared knowledge commons and how Creative Commons is working to ensure that those who benefit most from shared resources also contribute to sustaining them. She will discuss the evolving landscape of AI, licensing, and knowledge sharing in the public interest.
Dissemination, Adaptation, and Ongoing Curation: The Roles of Sustainable OER Repositories, Justin Shorb, LibreTexts
Justin will discuss how open repositories can support the continued growth, relevance, and sustainability of OER through curation, adaptation, and dissemination.
OER Project Presentations
Throughout the two days, participants will explore 53 projects developed under the guidance of experienced mentors and thematic hub coordinators. Each presentation will feature a short video pitch followed by a live discussion between developers and mentors, highlighting innovative solutions in teaching, sustainability, inclusivity, digital literacy, and ethical AI.
Projects range from AI-enhanced academic writing and accessible STEM OERs for bilingual educators, to climate education initiatives, health and well-being resources, and youth-led sustainability projects. Each contributes to the shared goal of advancing UNESCO’s Recommendations on OER and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 – Quality Education.
