Open Education: What's Being Done? What  CAN be done?

University of Galway Library

Two innovative Open Educational Resource projects from Ireland illustrate some of what's possible in Open Education.

This Open Scholarship Café showcases two different approaches to creating and making use of Open Educational Resources and give an idea of the diverse possibilities of Open Education. A Zoom link will be emailed in advance of this virtual session.Our first speaker of the session will be Odette Gabaudan from Technological University Dublin. Odette will discuss her work with an open resource she has developed for French language learning called<a href="http://frenchgrammartour.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> French Grammar Resources</a>, an interactive website that makes it easier to work with French tenses and grammar. Odette will describe how students have been asked to use the website as a starting point to create language learning game prototypes. This has allowed material to be remixed in interesting ways in the context of a multidisciplinary student and staff collaboration.Odette will also mention her work in creating an OER for practicing French in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production). This work is part of a broader institutional initiative, <a href="https://sdgliteracy.ie/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">sdgliteracy.ie</a> In presenting these two OER initiatives, she will share her experience on two very different approaches to creating OER.
