MIT Open Learning speaker series bridges AI and open education | by MIT Open Learning | MIT Open Learning | Apr, 2025 | Medium

"MIT Open Learning is fueling a global dialogue on the future of open education in an AI-driven world. Building on the momentum of its newly launched AI + Open Education Initiative that supported the publication of rapid response papers tackling the promises and pitfalls of this emerging field, Open Learning is now taking the conversation further with a virtual speaker series designed to spark deeper international exchange.

Kicking off on April 30, the new AI + Open Education Initiative Speaker Series shines light on the recently published rapid response papers — written by researchers and practitioners in Armenia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States — with a focus on professional education, the judicious use of AI, and open practices. Clint Lalonde, director of open education at BCcampus in Canada, will lead a discussion with Aigerim Shilibekova, author of “Addressing Challenges in Faculty Professional Development: UDL Training through AI-Enhanced OER in a Non-English Context,” and Royce Kimmons and Torrey Trust, select co-authors of “Judicious AI Use to Improve Existing OER.”..."
