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.
