Description:

The Coffee Break launched in February, when we noticed that many ALT members engaging in our JiscMail lists were hitting blockers when trying to introduce new ways of working or different technologies. Members reported challenges around engagement of colleagues, making the case for change and securing senior level buy-in. And so the idea for the Coffee Break was born. Join us for this CMALT Week special edition where you will get the opportunity to talk about the innovative practice you plan to share in your CMALT portfolio.

Come along to The Coffee Break and share your CMALT plans or network with other CMALT candidates and holders. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved (or maybe solved).

Dr. Richard Nelson will guide us through the University of Bradford’s transformative journey along their Digital Education Roadmap. This comprehensive roadmap focuses on the implementation and support of key digital education systems, with a strong emphasis on enhancing student engagement, inclusivity, and accessibility. Currently, the University is midway through its three-stage roadmap, which has involved a diverse range of stakeholders, including academic staff, professional services, and students. A pivotal element of the University's strategy and digital education roadmap is the integration of video capture technology and explorations into a range of polling and exam tools. Echo360 is proud to support the University of Bradford through this digital transformation, leveraging our innovative solutions to achieve their roadmap goals. Richard will provide an insightful and candid narrative on the successes, challenges, and human aspects of policy implementation, adoption, and the rollout of these systems.

The 16th annual <a href="https://oer.alt.ac.uk/">Open Education Conference</a> (OER25) will take place on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 June 2025 in London at the Resource for London conference center. The OER25 Conference is a pinnacle event for the Association for Learning Technology, bringing together a dynamic community of educators, researchers, and practitioners.

As the narratives on artificial intelligence (AI) gather traction and populist movements dominate public debates, Open Education faces new challenges and opportunities:

<ul type="disc">
<li>
How can we adapt Open Education Practices (OEP) and Open Educational Resources (OER) when AI makes content creation easier but less transparent? Are there appropriate uses of AI which could support open practices and practitioners?
</li>
<li>
Generative AI can produce unlimited educational material, but its reliance on existing content raises questions about originality, accuracy, and ethics. What legal and ethical issues arise from the undeclared use of open content by AI? How can open and Creative Commons licencing speak back to powerful and easy new norms of content creation with AI?
</li>
<li>
How can open learning and open knowledge remain a public good in a time of political and media polarisation? How can open practitioners support each other through these challenges?
</li>
<li>
"F you AI!": How can Open Educational Practices and Resources provide critical, compassionate and equitable approaches to education that resist the dominant, populist AI narratives around transformation, increased productivity and personalisation of education? 
</li>
</ul>

This conference will explore these key questions and challenges participants to build the future of Open Education in a changing world.

Earlybird ends 12 May 2025.
