Reimagining OER: What Does an AI-First Platform Look Like?
Join us for an all-new panel on AI and OER
A panel of three experts—David Wiley (Marshall University), Joel Gladd (College of Western Idaho), and Dan McCreary (Kelly-McCreary & Associates)—moderated by Delmar Larsen (LibreTexts), will explore the intersection of Open Educational Resources (OER) and artificial intelligence in building interactive educational resources. Targeted toward intermediate and advanced OER practitioners, the discussion will examine how the next evolution of OER must move beyond repositories of freely accessible textbooks toward AI-powered integrated, centralized, community-driven educational platforms. The panel will explore their visions in how state-of-the-art AI can transform the construction, adaptation, curation, accessibility, and licensing compliance of educational resources while enabling personalized learning through intelligent tutoring, adaptive instruction, automated assessment, and individualized feedback. By integrating content, courseware, and learning technologies within an OER ecosystem, their visions seek to empower educators to collaborate and innovate while providing students with more personalized and engaging learning experiences. Ultimately, the discussion will consider how to build a sustainable, community-governed infrastructure where AI amplifies the collective expertise of educators while advancing the broader mission of open education.
