The rise of generative AI tools has created significant excitement and concern among educators over the past year. The intersections between AI and Open Educational Resources (OERs) raise many significant questions and opportunities. How can AI be used to support the development of OERs? What challenges does AI create for OERs? This presentation will provide an overview of generative AI, provide considerations for teaching with AI, explore the intersections between AI and OERs, and share resources for participants interested in learning more about these topics.


Learning Outcomes:
  • Participants will gain understanding of generative AI tools, including their capabilities, applications, and their impact.
  • Participants will learn how to leverage generative AI tools to support the development of Open Educational Resources (OERs), exploring practical applications and potential benefits in educational content creation.
  • Participants will explore some of the pedagogical implications for AI in teaching and learning
  • Participants will be equipped with resources to delve deeper into the intersection of AI and OERs, including recommended readings, tools, and platforms.
