Indigenous Open Educational Resources: Respectfully Uplifting Community Voices
May 24, 2022 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Open education is grounded in Western understandings of ownership, protocol, and accessibility. Often open education has a goal of making all knowledges available for all peoples. Within Canadian copyright law is tension with Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The open education community must carefully consider Indigenous knowledges and self-determination, which are deeply rooted in community-defined ethics and protocols and do not fit into ordinary academic contexts. This session will explore some of the concerns around open educational resources (OER) and Indigenous knowledges while using Indigenous worldviews to better understand how Indigenous knowledges can be respectfully incorporated into OER.

Hello All
A new report has been published by Achieving the Dream and SRI Education. This study addresses the urgent need to better understand how the use of OER can support educational equity, particularly in educational settings that serve historically marginalized student populations.
The report identifies five dimensions of open education and culturally responsive teaching:
* Study agency and ownership, or the extent to which the course and positions students as leaders of their learning
* Inclusive content, or how the instructor brings in diverse perspectives and tailors the content to students’ backgrounds
* Collaborative knowledge generation, or how students apply/develop new theories or contribute to “renewable” or generative assignments.
* Critical consciousness, or how the instructor provides students with real-world assignments, decolonizes the curriculum, and addresses power imbalances
* Classroom culture, or how the instructor cultivates strong relationships and an inclusive environment
The study is based on interviews with faculty and administrators, student focus groups, and course observations at eight community colleges, and is a careful examination of teaching practice among committed OER users and technology-oriented faculty members.
