To help you plan your participation the conference program schedule can be filtered by date, venue, session type, and session format using the Filter functions.
Filter by Date lets you look at a specific day of the program. Filter by Venue lets you look at the program by venue rooms where sessions are taking place. Filter by Type lets you look at the program by track. In addition to keynotes and breaks the program is made up of three main tracks or types of sessions Pedagogy, Roles, and Strategies. Clicking on a type in Filter by Type lets you see only sessions of that type in the program schedule. In addition, Pedagogy, Roles, and Strategies each have a set of associated topics. Topics appear when you hover over a type name in the Filter by Type area of Sched. Topics are clickable allowing you to further filter the program by topic. Session Format lets you view the program by types of sessions - Action Labs, Lightning Talks, Posters, Presentations, and World Cafes.
The conference program is rich and diverse representing the current state of open education around the world.
One struggle faced when adopting and adapting open educational resources for use in some courses is a lack of suitable images. Traditional publishers provide a repository of images, typically with easily editable leader lines and labels, that accompany the ancillary teaching materials. These images are especially useful in the STEM disciplines.
Traditional image editing software can be expensive; often requiring a long-term subscription. The software may also not be user-friendly, requiring extensive training to learn how to use them. For instructors who are not artists or graphic designers, losing publisher-provided images can be a major deterrent to adopting OER.
In this session, I will demonstrate how to use a user-friendly, relatively cheap app on a tablet to edit openly licensed images and pictures. The talk will focus on using the Procreate app on an iPad Pro since these are the tools most familiar to the presenter, however, the ultimate goal of the talk is to empower attendees, especially those lacking artistic abilities and computer-editing software skills, to search for ways to edit and create images using intuitive, low cost tools and resources. Examples of how the presenter uses the app include creating line drawings of images and pictures, erasing labels, and combining images.
