Speakers:
Ash Barber, Academic Librarian, University of South Australia.
Tanya Grosz, Director of Educational Programs, Open Education Network (U.S.)

In this webinar, Ash Barber presents the results of her international exploration into inclusive OER through a Libraries of the Australian Technology Network (LATN) Fellowship. Her new website, EmpoweredOER, provides practical guidance for librarians who want to learn more about evaluating OER with an equity lens. Ash will demonstrate how to use EmpoweredOER as a tool for understanding various aspects of equity and inclusion and to identify concrete examples of this in practice.

Joining Ash in this session is Tanya Grosz, Director of Educational Programs at the Open Education Network (OEN), and one of the many brilliant colleagues Ash met on her Fellowship tour of North America. Tanya discusses the OEN’s strategy and training programs for increasing the adoption and publication of open texts and the development of sustainable open education programs, the Open Textbook Library, and the OEN’s global collaboration to advance open educational practices worldwide.
