Hi everyone,
I've just locked down a day/time for our Open Education Week event with Brenna Clarke Gray and Autumm Caines. Please save the date for Monday, March 4th from 11am-12pm PST.
I'm just waiting on a bio and photo from Autumm for the events page. We should have registration open by tomorrow or Monday.
Autumm's blog<https://autumm.edtech.fm/> has a number of widely cited posts about generative AI in the classroom, and how these new technologies are sometimes at odds with the shared values of the open education movement. Brenna and the event planning team will be developing questions for Autumm over the next week; feel free to email me with any burning questions you may have and we'll integrate them into the event. Or, you can save them for the Q&A period during the event 🙂
Thanks!

Hi y'all,
Following up on today's meeting, I mentioned that I'm on the lookout for
folks with interest in being on a panel talking about generative AI
adoption in their libraries at ALA 2024 in San Diego. Someone asked for the
blurb, so here it is:
*2022 and 2023 saw generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) make its way
into the public’s awareness in an unprecedented way when the companies
making text-to-image generation tools like Stable Diffusion and large
language models like ChatGPT made their tools available to the public. This
session will be a guided discussion between three panelists and a moderator
who will talk about how staff at libraries and their associated
institutions have approached GenAI, what the process looked like deciding
how to use it, and what impacts it has had on the library services they
provide.Due to the rapid pace of development and change in the field of
generative artificial intelligence, presenters will be chosen sooner to the
conference to ensure that the information given is both timely and
relevant. However, topics for discussion will touch on the the following:-
What guidance or policy governing GenAI use do their institutions have, and
what kinds of discussions have happened around the ethics of GenAI?- How
have GenAI tools impacted their day to day work, individually and
institutionally?- How are they approaching GenAI with communities they
serve? E.G. programming or workshops, technology offerings, or other
community-centered services.*
It'll get nailed down a bit more once I know who'll be on the panel, but
broadly the goal is to provide more of a "here's how it's going" discussion
rather than a more abstract discussion of AI in libraries. Speakers are
responsible for the cost of travel/lodging and attendance, but the
admission rate for presenters is USD$220.
If you're interested, drop me a line and a paragraph or two about what's
been going on at your library with AI! Sadly I can't bring everyone with
me, but I'll do my best to give fair consideration to everyone. Early
career (grad within 5 years), BIPOC, or 2SLGBTQIA+ librarians are
especially encouraged to reach out.
Thanks kindly,

Hello!
While working on some Intro-to-OERs type content, I thought it would be useful to have our Evaluating OERs information in an infographic/image form as well as ppt and doc. So I very quickly put one together based on the Doc. Can someone with access to our OER Commons group upload it there?
Thanks,
Amanda
