In this episode we hear from five of the 31 authors of chapters in <a href="https://jcu.pressbooks.pub/confidentsupervisors/">Confident Supervisors: Creating Independent Researchers</a> which was recognized with <a href="https://awards.oeglobal.org/awards/2024/significant-impact-oer/confident-supervisors-creating-independent-researchers/">a 2024 Significant Impact OE Award</a>. The significant of this resource was not only its filling a gap of open education resources (OERs) for supporting graduate supervisors but also for its focus on smaller universities and universities in less developed countries with limited access to resources and support for this topic.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"></div></figure><p>While this podcast was recorded back in October of last year, featuring this work now is appropriate as the process for nominations for the 2025 will begin in the next few months. The team’s pride in their award was reflected in the update of the OER’s cover image added shortly before we went into the recording studio.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://jcu.pressbooks.pub/confidentsupervisors/"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="573" src="https://podcast.oeglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/confident-supervisors-award-cover-1024x573.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1635" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://jcu.pressbooks.pub/confidentsupervisors/">Confident Supervisors: Creating Independent Researchers</a></figcaption></figure><blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>And what we were really looking for was to provide supervisory practice information to very much be a get up and find what you need to know to supervise, maybe in five minutes, with somebody who you’ve got an issue with, or work with a supervisor who perhaps you wanted to invite onto the team, but you’re not sure how to make that happen.</p><p>So each of the chapters begins with, three sort of, or three to five points saying, “why would you read this chapter? Whatcha gonna find out?”, a little video that just introduces the author and tells you a little bit about it, an introduction, some crunchy content, and then each chapter finishes off with some resources…. different sorts of things all aimed at helping supervisors, supervisor developers, and leaders of supervision within universities and within research centers to be able to build these collaborative cultures where supervisors feel supported, feel enabled, and build capacity to create the next generation of researchers.</p><p><cite>Confident Supervisors Editor Susan Gasson</cite></p></blockquote><p>This conversation was coordinated by project lead and editor Susan Gasson and we were joined from authors/editors of Confident Supervisors from several Australian universities.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="588" src="https://podcast.oeglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/in-the-stuidio-79-1024x588.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1636" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">In the podcast recording studio with clockwise from top left, Susan Gasson.

The project brings together a diverse team who created an open access book aimed at empowering higher degree research (HDR) supervisors with practical tools and strategies to support international and non-English speaking students.</p><p>We kick off with insights from several key contributors:</p><ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Susan Gasson</strong> shares her journey and inspiration behind the book, emphasizing the collaboration and global impact it has achieved.</li><li><strong>Jill Blacker</strong> highlights her editorial experience and collaboration efforts.</li><li><strong>Santosh Jatrana</strong> discusses the challenges and solutions for supervising international students, particularly from non-English speaking backgrounds.</li><li><strong>Alan McAlpine</strong> offers insights on career support for HDR students, stressing the importance of providing effective career advice.</li><li><strong>Claire Ovasca</strong> provides an overview of the open access movement and the library’s support in the project’s success.</li></ul><p>The episode also explores future plans for a second volume that will address diversity, equity, and the use of different methodologies. The team discusses the impact of making such high-quality educational content freely accessible, showcasing a spirit of openness and collaboration.</p><p>This episode encapsulates the spirit of sharing knowledge, enhancing supervisory practices, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive academic environment globally.

And not necessarily to get into that advice giving type model, but more how to ask questions that give the students choice, that empower the student to go and find out more information, to empower the student to actually think about what’s the right decision for them.</p><p>And in doing that we create far more useful educated people back out into society. Whether that be within the academy or outside the academy, it doesn’t really matter. But these are students, are individuals that we are educating to a really high level. So that’s really what motivated me to get involved.</p><p><cite>Alan McAlpine</cite></p></blockquote><ul class="wp-block-list"><li><a href="https://awards.oeglobal.org/awards/2024/significant-impact-oer/confident-supervisors-creating-independent-researchers/">2024 Significant Impact OER Award</a> (OE Global)</li><li><a href="https://jcu.pressbooks.pub/confidentsupervisors/">Confident Supervisors: Creating Independent Researchers</a> (James Cook University Open eBooks) Chapters by guests include<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><a href="https://jcu.pressbooks.pub/confidentsupervisors/chapter/1-approaches-to-supervision/">Chapter 1.

The significant of this resource was not only its filling a gap of open education resources (OERs) for supporting graduate supervisors but also for its focus on smaller universities and universities in less developed countries with limited access to resources and support for this topic.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While this podcast was recorded back in October of last year, featuring this work now is appropriate as the process for nominations for the 2025 will begin in the next few months.

The project brings together a diverse team who created an open access book aimed at empowering higher degree research (HDR) supervisors with practical tools and strategies to support international and non-English speaking students.<\/p>\n<p>We kick off with insights from several key contributors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Susan Gasson<\/strong> shares her journey and inspiration behind the book, emphasizing the collaboration and global impact it has achieved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jill Blacker<\/strong> highlights her editorial experience and collaboration efforts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Santosh Jatrana<\/strong> discusses the challenges and solutions for supervising international students, particularly from non-English speaking backgrounds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alan McAlpine<\/strong> offers insights on career support for HDR students, stressing the importance of providing effective career advice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claire Ovasca<\/strong> provides an overview of the open access movement and the library’s support in the project’s success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The episode also explores future plans for a second volume that will address diversity, equity, and the use of different methodologies. The team discusses the impact of making such high-quality educational content freely accessible, showcasing a spirit of openness and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>This episode encapsulates the spirit of sharing knowledge, enhancing supervisory practices, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive academic environment globally. Tune in to hear the team’s passion and dedication towards making HDR education more accessible and impactful for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p><em>(end of AI generated show notes)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Links and Quotes for Episode 79<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>So how can we best up skill supervisors to have conversations that are beyond their own experience? … we’ll give advice, all well-meaning and all very well, but not necessarily something that is overly helpful or opens up the options for that student that’s sitting in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>So the chapter provides some tools and helping them to help the student think and be empowered to take control of their own destiny. And not necessarily to get into that advice giving type model, but more how to ask questions that give the students choice, that empower the student to go and find out more information, to empower the student to actually think about what’s the right decision for them.<\/p>\n<p>And in doing that we create far more useful educated people back out into society. Whether that be within the academy or outside the academy, it doesn’t really matter. But these are students, are individuals that we are educating to a really high level. So that’s really what motivated me to get involved.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Alan McAlpine<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.oeglobal.org\/awards\/2024\/significant-impact-oer\/confident-supervisors-creating-independent-researchers\/\">2024 Significant Impact OER Award<\/a> (OE Global)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/jcu.pressbooks.pub\/confidentsupervisors\/\">Confident Supervisors: Creating Independent Researchers<\/a> (James Cook University Open eBooks) Chapters by guests include\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/jcu.pressbooks.pub\/confidentsupervisors\/chapter\/1-approaches-to-supervision\/\">Chapter 1.

StoryWeaver, a community-driven digital platform, earned the 2023 Open Education Award for Excellence in the Open Curation Repository category.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Highlights:<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Embracing Openness<\/strong>: Purvi discusses the organization’s decision to adopt open licensing to reach their mission of putting a book in every child’s hand. This shift from a traditional publishing model to an open platform allowed the community to create and translate stories, leading to the birth of StoryWeaver.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Genesis of StoryWeaver<\/strong>: The platform was launched on International Literacy Day in 2015 with 800 stories in 24 languages. Today, it boasts an impressive collection of 60,000 stories in 370 languages, serving as a vast repository of multilingual and multicultural stories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Innovative Features<\/strong>: StoryWeaver includes unique features such as “read-alongs,” which combine audio, video, and same-language subtitling to aid language learning and literacy. The platform also offers structured resources for teachers, such as thematic book lists and STEM programs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Translations and Impact<\/strong>: Purvi shares stories about the extensive translations available on the platform. “Rani\u2019s First Day at School” has been translated into 138 languages, demonstrating the community’s active participation. She also narrates heartwarming anecdotes about how these stories have impacted children and teachers around the world.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community Contributions<\/strong>: The discussion highlights how users can contribute by translating stories or creating new ones using the platform’s vast library of images and easy-to-use creation tools. Purvi shares examples of innovative projects inspired by StoryWeaver, such as a literacy program developed in Mexico.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future Goals<\/strong>: Looking ahead, Purvi emphasizes the importance of expanding the depth of stories in each language and leveraging the community’s strengths to ensure that every child can access a book in their mother tongue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Alan and Purvi’s conversation encapsulates the essence of open education and the incredible work being done by the StoryWeaver team to foster literacy and inclusivity. The episode concludes with a recommendation to explore StoryWeaver and an acknowledgment of the upcoming Open Education Awards.<\/p>\n<p>Tune in to OEGlobal Voices to dive deeper into the world of StoryWeaver and the transformative power of open education.<\/p>\n<p><em>(end of AI generated show notes)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Links and Quotes for Episode 76<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>How can we work with the communities to increase the depth of languages? So that could be a potential future milestone. We were just discussing this in office the other day that it’s so interesting that while the platform has 370 languages and that’s a milestone in itself, but the real milestone is that for that one child reading the first book in their mother tongue is really the milestone.<\/p>\n<p>We hit that milestone almost every day because every day a child is discovering a book in their mother tongue for the first time. That milestone will never get old, I think. And some of the other sort of milestones [has] been just not being a platform where we allow for stories, but say, when we created this whole different platform, the white label StoryWeaver for Room to Read in Indonesia and that helped kickstart their own platform called Literacy Cloud.<\/p>\n<p>That was a pretty important milestone because whatever we have learned, we could empower other organizations. to build off our investments, our learning, in countries that they work with.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Purvi Shah on StoryWeaver’s milestones<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.oeglobal.org\/awards\/2023\/open-repository\/storyweaver\/\">2023 Open Education Award for Excellence<\/a> (Open Repository Award, OEGlobal)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/prathambooks.org\/\">Pratham Books<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/prathambooks.org\/one-day-one-story-2024\">One Day One Story<\/a> (Pratham Books)  <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/publisher\/128645\/Pratham-Books\">First published In Scribd<\/a> (2014) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/infolit.org.uk\/international-literacy-day-2015\">International Literacy Day 2015<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/\">Storyweaver<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/about\/open-philosophy\">Our Open Philosophy<\/a> <\/li>\n<li>Stories mentioned\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/539333-goal\">Goal!<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/123206-why-do-sunflowers-love-the-sun\">Why Do Sunflowers Love the Sun? <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/28132-what-will-today-bring\">What Will Today Bring? <\/a>(author is Chrissi Nerantzi) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/98-rani-s-first-day-at-school\">Rani\u2019s First Day at School <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/12433-angry-akku\">Angry Akku<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/598926-angry-akku\">Angre Akku<\/a> (in Bahasa Indonesia language) \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/stories\/12756-chintu\">Chintu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/storyweaver.org.in\/en\/about\/campaigns\/foundational-literacy%20%20Readalongs\">StoryWeaver Foundational LIteracy Program<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/badanbahasa.kemdikbud.go.id\/\">Badan Bahasa<\/a> (Indonesia organization)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldreader.org\/\">Worldreader<\/a>\u00a0(International children’s book reading programs)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomtoread.org\/\">Room to Read<\/a>\u00a0 (International organization improving literacy and gender equality)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/literacycloud.org\/\">Literacy Cloud<\/a> (Story platform based on StoryWeaver)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p id=\"block-2f7515be-ef3b-4974-be5b-c5241ddff716\"><em>Our open licensed music for this episode is a track called <a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/serge-quadrado\/theatre\/fairytale-story\/\">Fairytale Story<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/serge-quadrado\/\">Serge Quadrado<\/a>  licensed under a Creative Commons  <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\">Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License<\/a>.

I live in a more rural community and every community is touched by what some of the literature calls “hidden homelessness” especially at this time of year, you start to see folks who are camping on the beach and who just can’t find affordable housing and the income even from government is just not cutting it. It’s, it’s not cutting it for housing, let alone when you’re deciding whether you or your children are going to eat, this week as well.

Michelle and Paul were recognized last year with the <a href=\"http:\/\/About Open Reuse \/ Remix \/ Adaptation Award\">2023 Open Reuse \/ Remix \/ Adaptation Award<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/cuny.manifoldapp.org\/projects\/hum-1-modern-humanities\">HUM 1: Modern Humanities<\/a>, an OER published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/manifoldapp.org\/\">Manifold platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle, a former English and Literature instructor and Paul, who taught Theater, came to collaborate as both becoming coordinators for Kingsborough’s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbcc.cuny.edu\/collegenow\">College Now program<\/a>. This innovative effort provides New York area high school students the opportunity to earn credit and gain experience in college level education through courses taught by high school teachers. Michelle and Paul started their roles in coordinating the Modern Humanities course, which situates post 1920s art and culture in the context of history, and were given the challenge as well of navigating all the challenges of the COVID lockdown. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/zoomshot-3-wide-1024x191.jpg\" alt=\"left to right, three photos of guests in the podcast.\" class=\"wp-image-1329\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Michelle Turnbull and Paul Ricciardi join host Alan Levine in the OE Global Voices studio <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You will hear how the program was tasked with replacing expensive textbooks that were not available for students. This was the motivation to develop the Modern Humanities open textbook but as you will hear, it developed into the ideal platform for supporting this course and some of the interesting ways Michelle and Paul addressed the access to important media and resources for a subject area that is mostly outside of the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>They share why the Manifold publishing platform works so well for the students and teachers in the Modern Humanities course as well as some ideas as to what they are planning to add in the future. And listen as well for a story of how an unexpected connection to <a href=\"https:\/\/robinderosa.net\/\">Robin Derosa<\/a> at Plymouth State University played a factor in this creation of this beautiful and valuable resource.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In This Episode<\/h2>\n<p><em>FYI: For the sake of experimentation, this set of show notes alone was generated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.descript.com\/ai-actions\/podcast-show-notes\">AI Actions<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.descript.com\/\">Descript editor <\/a>we use to produce OEG Voices<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Transitioning to OER: Modern Humanities<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, Paul Ricciardi and Michelle Turnbull discuss the transition from traditional textbooks to Open Educational Resources (OER) among high school faculty. Michelle emphasizes the difference in how textbooks are perceived as roadmaps, while OERs, or ‘Readers’, provide a structured and organized curriculum guide. They introduce ‘Modern Humanities’, an OER that covers the intersection of modern art and culture. The discussion highlights how this resource is particularly useful in teaching about historical events such as World War One.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Highlight Intro Quotes<br \/>00:53 Welcome to OE Global Voices Podcast<br \/>01:12 Meet the Award-Winning Guests<br \/>02:25 Exploring Kingsborough Community College<br \/>03:16 The College Now Program<br \/>07:52 The Birth of an Open Textbook<br \/>10:03 Challenges and Solutions in OER Creation<br \/>15:14 The Power of Collaboration<br \/>15:48 Using Manifold for Publishing<br \/>18:57 Future Plans and Reflections<br \/>22:54 Closing Remarks and Musical Outro<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-50b50ab8-e03f-4a7a-8bb3-29e63498b79f\" href=\"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/episode-069.txt\">Episode 069 Transcript<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/episode-069.txt\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-50b50ab8-e03f-4a7a-8bb3-29e63498b79f\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/share.descript.com\/view\/d1lrXxaRQOa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Listen with Transcript<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">at Descript.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Links and Quotes for Episode 69<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We really try and focus on the intersection of the humanities, right?

Her observation then that the primary time of year, in winter, when students learn to identify plants and trees is a challenge given most guidebooks contain photos and descriptions from full summer display. This experience literally planted seed germinated as an idea when Julia, as an instructor at BCIT, decided to develop an open educational resource winter identification plant guide.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by a presentation (we guess it might have been one by Robin Derosa), Julia adopted an open pedagogy approach by having her students collaborate in researching, writing and illustrating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcit.ca\/open\/posts\/buds-branches-and-bark-a-guide-to-winter-id-in-the-pacific-northwest\/\">first edition of Buds, Branches and Bark<\/a>. Presenting this work at BCIT initiated an expansion of its open pedagogy approach via a conversation with colleague in the media design program, who suggested having their students provide design support. Since then more than 200 students from three different academic departments have been part of this continually growing resource.<\/p>\n<p>You will hear in Julia’s voice the excitement and enthusiasm for the <a href=\"https:\/\/circuit.bcit.ca\/repository\/islandora\/object\/repository%3A2220\">the newest third edition released in December 2023<\/a>. The production level of Buds, Branches, and Bark rivals commercially published guides.

Host Alan Levine and co-host Marcela Morales engage in a rich dialogue about the inception, challenges, and triumphs of Julia’s project, highlighting how open education, collaboration across disciplines, and student involvement have been key in crafting an accessible, evolving guide for learners worldwide.

Courses start in the Fall and they go from September till May. And in that time period, it’s mostly the winter here. It’s really hard to learn about the natural world when all of the resources that we had were focused on looking at plants during the growing season when they have leaves.<\/p>\n<p>I remember standing outside in the forest looking at little trees and trying to figure out what the heck they were. And all we had was our book that only has pictures of leaves and things in it. And I was so frustrated.<\/p>\n<p>I remember talking to one of my instructors about it being like, well, why aren’t there any resources? And he was like, well, you’ll just have to make one. I guess that kind of where seed was planted. I really wanted there to something to help me.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Julia Alards-Tomalin on inspiration to create Buds, Bark, and Branches<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcit.ca\/open\/faculty-in-the-open\/julia-alards-tomalin\/\">About Julia Alards-Tomalin<\/a> (BCIT)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gimli,_Manitoba\">Gimli, Manitoba<\/a> (Wikipedia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcit.ca\/programs\/forest-and-natural-areas-management-diploma-full-time-7470dipma\/\">Forest and Natural Areas Management program<\/a> (BCIT)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcit.ca\/open\/grants\/\">Open Education Grants<\/a> (BCIT)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/circuit.bcit.ca\/repository\/islandora\/object\/repository%3A2220\">Buds, Branches and Bark: A Guide to Winter Identification in the Pacific Northwest<\/a> (3rd edition, BCIT)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.oeglobal.org\/awards\/2023\/open-pedagogy\/buds-branches-and-bark\/\">2023 OE Award for Excellence in Open Pedagogy<\/a> (OE Global)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/circuit.bcit.ca\/repository\/islandora\/object\/repository%3Aplantpress\">Plant Press: A Plant Identification Card Game<\/a> (early project, BCIT)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcit.ca\/open\/posts\/buds-branches-and-bark-a-guide-to-winter-id-in-the-pacific-northwest\/\">Buds, Branches, and Bark<\/a> (1st edition)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/circuit.bcit.ca\/repository\/islandora\/object\/repository:2056\">Buds, Branches, and Bark<\/a> (2nd edition)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/199562275@N08\/\">Buds, Branches, and Bark photos<\/a> (flickr)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mediaspace.bcit.ca\/media\/The+collaborative+creation+of+Buds%2C+Branches+and+BarkA+A+Guide+to+Winter+Identification+in+the+Pacific+Northwest%2C+a+BCIT+OER+textbook\/0_r2c2ynsw\">The collaborative creation of Buds, Branches and Bark: A Guide to Winter Identification in the Pacific Northwest, a BCIT OER textbook<\/a> (Open Education Week 2023 presentation)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zvRWb-uPpCQ&t=1168s\">Presentation at the OEGlobal 2023 Conference<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I was so honored.

This gives us the opportunity to start thinking about Open Pedagogy and also how OER and Open Pedagogy fit with different kinds of initiatives that are of interest.<\/p>\n<p>At our school there’s a tremendous interest in diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility throughout the institution. We’ve been talking about these issues amongst the staff, amongst the faculty, and we have a Faculty Advisory Board to our office, the Office of Faculty Development and Instructional Technology, and the Faculty Advisory Board has expressed a lot of interest in how DEIA fits into the process of online course development and online course review.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Sarah Kresh<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lti.cs.cmu.edu\/projects\/spoken-interfaces-and-dialogue-processing\/childes-child-language-data-exchange-system\">CHILDES: Child Language Data Exchange System<\/a> (Carnegie Mellon University)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nysed.gov\/edtech\/open-educational-resources\">New York State Government OER Initiative<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cuny.edu\">City University of New York<\/a> (CUNY)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuny.edu\/libraries\/open-educational-resources\/\">Open Educational Resources<\/a> (CUNY Library Services) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuny.edu\/research\/research-development-programs\/faculty-programs\/internal-funding\/open-educational-resources-research-program\/\">CUNY Open Education Research Program<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/\">School of Professional Studies<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/spsfaculty.commons.gc.cuny.edu\/open-educational-resources\/\">OER @ SPS<\/a> (CUNY School of Professional Studies) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/academics\/zero-textbook-cost-courses\">Zero Textbook Courses<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/about\/news\/cuny-school-professional-studies-leads-online-teaching-workshops-cuny-faculty\">CUNY School of Professional Studies Leads Online Teaching Workshops for CUNY Faculty<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/cuny-online-teaching-essentials\">CUNY Online Teaching Essentials<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The most exciting project recently that we’ve worked on is offering faculty a workshop where we provided them with some of these annotations, modelled after the Cal State- SUNY project that I just mentioned.

They don’t have to wait until when they can actually buy it or when they’re financially clear. So some students are waiting until two or three weeks before they can buy a textbook. That’s gonna affect their grade. That’s gonna affect the way they learn because the first two or three weeks or plus are basically useless for them because they cannot read the book. The most affected people are gonna be the students that don’t have money to buy them. If you’re a rich kid, spending $300 for a textbook and those are like real prices, it’s okay. You’re not gonna pay it, you’re not gonna be affected by it. You’re still gonna be able to go to a restaurant and eat.<\/p>\n<p>But for someone that doesn’t have the money or the resources, that’s gonna be really impactful for them when they have a free textbook instead of a textbook that is so expensive.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Giovanni Zimotti on benefits of OER<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/giovannizimotti\/oer-textbooks\">OER Textbooks<\/a> (Giovanni Zimotti web site)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greyled.com\/\">Greyled<\/a> “The OER platform that thinks like you do” (Giovanni Zimotti’s new platform in development)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI Magic for Podcasting?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Note: In our ongoing process of exploring new technologies, we tested a new AI powered podcast content creation tool called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.castmagic.io\/\">Castmagic<\/a>— we uploaded the audio for this episode and it generated suggested podcast titles, highlights, key points, even text social media posts (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.castmagic.io\/share\/4332643d-0695-46d6-93b0-9f1d03abb78a\">see the full set of results<\/a>). <\/em><\/p>\n<p>All our summaries above are human written, but for a taste of what Castmagic generated from the audio for this episode:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>On this episode of OEG Voices, we delve into the world of Open Educational Resources (OER) and the benefits they bring to language learning.

It’s weird how people love and know Wikipedia so well, but they don’t know what’s under the bonnet. They don’t know how that information gets there. They also think that there’s some sort of elves that just, overnight magic, a page together, and that this work happens organically, like Santa’s workshop every year. There’s something going on there that they don’t know how it happens, but they expect the information to be there. They also don’t maybe necessarily question or understand the nature of how a statement got that citation at the end of it, that you should be clicking on the citation to find out more, to make sure it’s a verifiable statement. It’s when you start saying, look, this is something you can edit and here’s how.<\/p>\n<p>Here’s the sort of easy route in. Suddenly their eyes light up a bit , “Oh, I can actually contribute here. It looks reasonably easy. How can I, how can I help? “And it’s just saying, look, you know, start small or start big, fifty words or more, and you’ve got something you can publish as long as you’ve got those citations and cite what you write.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Ewan McAndrew<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.oeglobal.org\/awards\/2022\/support-specialist\/ewan-mcandrew\/\">2022 OE Award for Excellence in Support Specialist Category: Ewan McAndrew<\/a> (OEGlobal)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User:EMcAndrew\">Username EMcAndrew<\/a> (Wikipedia) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=User:Stinglehammer\">Username \u201cStinglehammer\u201d<\/a> (Wikipedia) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aberdeenshire\">Aberdeenshire<\/a> (Wikipedia) <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newburgh,_Aberdeenshire\">Newburgh<\/a> (Wikipedia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.ac.uk\/information-services\/help-consultancy\/is-skills\/wikimedia\">Wikimedian in Residence<\/a> (University of Edinburgh)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh\">University of Edinburgh Wikipedian in Residence<\/a> (Wikipedia)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.ed.ac.uk\/wikimedia-in-education\/\">Wikimedia in Education Case Studies<\/a> (University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/wikihopper\">Wikimedian in Residence Channel<\/a> (University of Edinburgh, Media Hopper videos)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSDRSVKM4ceUSPI-7-BFeoQ\">Wikipedian in Residence Video<\/a>s (YouTube Channel)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.ac.uk\/information-services\/help-consultancy\/is-skills\/wikimedia\/down-the-rabbit-hole-of-knowledge\">Down the Rabbit hole of Knowledge<\/a> (Wikipedia Quick facts, University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thinking.is.ed.ac.uk\/wir\/reflections-on-a-wikipedia-assignment\/\">Reflections on a Wikipedia assignment \u2013 Reproductive Medicine<\/a> (University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thinking.is.ed.ac.uk\/wir\/wikidata-in-the-classroom-data-literacy-for-the-next-generation\/\">Wikidata in the Classroom \u2013 Data Literacy for the next generation<\/a> (University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedian_in_residence\">Wikipedian in Residence<\/a> (Wikipedia)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User:Wittylama\">Liam Wyatt<\/a> (First Wikimedia in Residence–username Wittylama is an anagram)!\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:GLAM\/British_Museum#Archive\">Archive project at British Museum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User:MartinPoulter\">Martin Poulter<\/a> (Wikipedian in Residence)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:GLAM\/Bodleian\">Bodleian Library projects<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>They can see that their work is published and has some lasting good.

And it didn’t have a page on Wikipedia. She was plugging a knowledge gap online, using her research and credible open access material, at least 60 citations in that article, and creating her own diagrams because she couldn’t find any copyright free ones. So she had to create her own diagrams in Photoshop to help explain this high serious grade carcinoma to a lay audience.<\/p>\n<p>That page has been viewed 150,000 times since she published it. So that’s impact right there. And she still talks about it. She’s left the university now and she still came back to talk with us when we did a podcast last year.

And weirdly, Scotland did document quite a lot of what happened, and they just put it in this Microsoft Access database they completed in about 2003. It remained relatively static– there’s 30 tables, 300 columns of information, a really rich data set.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of gaps in the data because it’s historical data. One thing we do seem to have for most of the accused witches in here is at least some idea of their place of residence that seems to have been noted.<\/p>\n<p>If we could just get a student with a geographic background, we could get them to sit down with some old georeferenced maps from the National Library of Scotland, take the names of these places and see if there are coordinates we could get them approximately or exactly right. It wasn’t always easy, but it was a lot of detective work and we managed to get somewhere in the region of 800 place names geolocated and that allowed us to create maps.<\/p>\n<p>That seemed to bring home to people the sort of extent of the witchcraft panics in Scotland. But also it localized things and seemed to bring home that “Oh, there was like three accused just down the road from me,” and you’d want to read a bit more and wondered why there was no sort of memorial to them.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Ewan McAndrew on the Accused Witches Project<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Map of Scots women accused of witchcraft published for first time <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/odW6tT31EN\">https:\/\/t.co\/odW6tT31EN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>— Ewan McAndrew (@emcandre) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emcandre\/status\/1176182515356360704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Full house at first <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EdCDCS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EdCDCS<\/a> seminar of the academic year! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emcandre?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@emcandre<\/a> introducing Emma Carroll on the Wicked Findings of the Witchfinder General: using linked open data to put accused witches on the map. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wikidata?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@wikidata<\/a> meets GIS meets historical data on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Scotland?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Scotland<\/a>\u2019s witchtrials. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hAR9ZYwZ5d\">pic.twitter.com\/hAR9ZYwZ5d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>— melissa terras (@melissaterras) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/melissaterras\/status\/1171774659248971776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 11, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/witches.shca.ed.ac.uk\/\">Survey of Scottish Witchcraft Database<\/a> (original database, University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/witches.is.ed.ac.uk\/\">Witches of Scotland<\/a> (Locations mapped from Wikidata, University of Edinburgh)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagefund.org.uk\/news\/mapping-scotlands-accused-witches-through-open-data\">Mapping Scotland’s accused witches through Open Data<\/a> (Heritage Fund)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ammienoot.com\/brain-fluff\/some-witchy-history-and-a-very-smart-woman-in-data-science\/\">Some witchy history and a very smart woman in data science<\/a> (Anne-Marie Scott blog)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.witchesofscotland.com\/\">Witches of Scotland<\/a> (Public campaign)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raws.scot\/\">Remembering the Accused Witches of Scotland<\/a> (RAWS, Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>There are about a dozen open knowledge projects supported by Wikimedia.

We need to constantly curate because there everything needs to be updated and what one person thinks is the right level for the quality of a book, it could be very different from a different person who has the same book. It’s a constant active thing. And because we are subject matter experts, not in every subject matter of course, but we have lots of people on our team in order to do that, we’re constantly updating and curating our content.<\/p>\n<p>And that right there distinguishes us from other platforms that essentially that’s not their game.

If they get wrong, they can go into a a remediation tree in order to help guide them in terms of understanding what’s necessary, what are the skills that they need in order to be successful with that question, and then they can decide which of the branches they want to go down.

But the Ukraine situation provided us with an opportunity, although it was, obviously a very bad situation over there in order to couple with Amazon.

So in total, they’re now supporting three open access journals. One of them is a library centered, dedicated journal. It’s being indexed in Scopus as well.

And it was quite scary to get out, scary to get out of the house with air raid alarms happening every 30 minutes or so. They were hiding in bomb shelters.<\/p>\n<p>….<\/p>\n<p>But already a few days after that , some of the colleagues started returning to the library, to the university, especially those who lived nearby or who could arrange the transportation because public transportation wasn’t working back then.<\/p>\n<p>They had to return, they had to resolve some very crucial issues, some urgent tasks that they as a library had to take care of. And Tetiana is really grateful to her colleagues for their time and risking their lives literally while doing that.<\/p>\n<p>….<\/p>\n<p>So other librarians would understand this as well, says Tetiana.

As we hear in the episode, it might take a lifetime to cover all of Robert’s contributions to Open Education.<\/p>\n<p>The OEG Voices podcast studio traveled to visit Robert in the village of Malden, just south of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Listen in to learn about his early influences, a career path from classroom teacher to computer science professional, and ultimately his rise as a key figure for implementing open education and open educational resources on a national level in the Netherlands. His work in the field and influence as a mentor has extended far beyond that. <\/p>\n<p>In Robert’s voice and his descriptions of his career you will understand why he has been honored with this lifetime achievement OE Award for Excellence. At the time of the recording, Robert was days away from his retirement as a professor Open Educational Resources from <a href=\"https:\/\/fontys.edu\/\">Fontys University of Applied Sciences<\/a>, but it is not surpising, as you hear, he will remain engaged in research on the sustainability of OERs.

And that is what I also trust that will be the case in 2030, that was also how I ended my blog, because when I started in 2009, 2010, Fred Mulder said to get OER mainstream, it’ll take 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Well, 10 years have been past since then, so 2030, then it is 20 years later. I think all the conditions are now. There’s the UNESCO OER recommendation, which our government has signed. There’s a UNESCO Open Science recommendation. The Netherlands had signed it. We have this agreement with all board members from higher education.<\/p>\n<p>We have this program, which is huge with a lot of money from the government where this OER is part of this program. And there it is a lot of very interested people who want to go further with it. So, if the lights are green, it is now or never.<\/p>\n<p>And I’m convinced it is now. People really will take the responsibility and work on this. And of course there will be drawbacks. Certainly there will be barriers, but I’m convinced that in 2030, this goal, this picture I have in my mind, will be a reality then in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Robert Schuwer<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p id=\"block-2f7515be-ef3b-4974-be5b-c5241ddff716\"><em>Our open licensed music for this episode was selected in honor of Robert’s music interest, a track called <a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/CIRCUSMARCUS\/Divers_classiques\/Beethoven_-_Bagatelle_op119_n9\/\">Beethoven – Bagatelle op.119 n\u00ba9<\/a> by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.circusmarcus.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Circus Marcus<\/a> licensed under a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">Attribution-NonCommercial License<\/a> <em>found, like most of our intro music, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/home\">Free Music Archive<\/a> (see <a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/blog\/fma-music-in-our-podcast\/\">our full FMA playlist<\/a>).<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"block-581c8078-9cac-49d6-829a-caa6334184ed\"><em>The introduction created with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cogdog.github.io\/mixvoices\/\">OEG Voices Mixer<\/a> features voices of Robert along with Lori-Beth L, Ajita D, Terry G, Catherine C, Gardner C, Lisa Y, Alex E, Judith S, Jonathan P, Bonni S, Clint L, and Shinta H (learn <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.oeglobal.org\/t\/contribute-your-voice-to-oeg-voices-opening-segment\/3213\/\">how to add your voice to the mix<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Also on a production note, this was the first episode we used <a href=\"https:\/\/descript.com\">Descript<\/a> for transcribing and editing audio, it feels like a game changer for editing!<\/em><\/p>\n","author":"Open Education Global","date":"January 20, 2023","link":"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/2023\/01\/19\/voices-48\/","src":"https:\/\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/episode048.mp3","featured":"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ep48-1500.jpg","featured_id":0,"mediatype":"audio","categories":{"oeawards":"OEAwards","oeglobalmembers":"OEGlobal Members","oeglobalvoices":"OEGlobal Voices"},"duration":"32:09","episodetype":"full","timestamp":1674187134,"key":"35877bff600a4ac2ceda895c4d50a206","fset":"","fratio":1},"ppe-8587-20":{"title":"OEG Voices 040: Charlie Farley and Lorna Campbell on Two Award Winning Projects from University of Edinburgh","description":"<p>There is <em>something<\/em> going on with Open Education in Edinburgh.

Lorna shares her insights into the development and successes of <a href=\"https:\/\/awards.oeglobal.org\/awards\/2021\/open-policy\/open-policies-for-learning-and-teaching\/\">the suite of Open Policies for Learning and Teaching recognized with an Open Practices OE Award for Excellence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also sitting in the call was Paul Stacey and Alan Levine from OE Global.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/podcast.oeglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/zoomshot-ep-40-1024x588.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-752\" \/><figcaption>In the OEG Voices Podcast studio with (clockwise from top left), Lorna Campbell, Charlie Farley, Alan Levine, and Paul Stacey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tune in as we learn about these two award winning efforts that clearly indicate the commitment to Open Education happening in Edinburgh.

They are making something which is not just being assessed and disappearing into a black hole. It’s going out there, it has purpose, it is having reuse. They always tend to be really engaged and really enthusiastic that this is going to be the best resource that is going to provide the teachers and their pupils what they need to use.
