We’ll outline intellectual property concerns around AI inputs and outputs using emerging U.S. copyright guidance. We’ll consider quality, accessibility, bias, and alignment with the values of the open movement.
We’ll survey how the open education community has been responding to the rise of GenAI. You’ll pick a topic that applies to your work and contribute relevant resources to a shared toolkit. You’ll develop your perspective and become more conversant in the issues to more confidently contribute to openness in your workplace.
You will not be required to use AI in this course, which will continue to be updated as this rapidly evolving landscape changes.
You’ll find the most success in this course if you already have a basic understanding of open licensing and GenAI. If you aren’t sure, we suggest reviewing Introduction to Open Educational Resources from The OER Starter Kit, this primer from the Digital Futures Institute, and/or Introduction to Artificial Intelligence from the Open University.
