Why "Open" Matters in a GenAI World

9 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna

The OSUN Library Resources Program invites the OSUN community to attend a webinar in honor of International Open Access Week with Dave Cormier.

The word "open" means many things to many people, but it is always about who gets to participate and who gets to decide. It is, fundamentally, about valuing the "who"; it is about empowering people. A commitment to openness, this presentation will argue, is a way to maintain the nuance and complexity of multiple voices in order to compete with the increasing reductionist texts produced by GenAI systems. 

Cormier has over 25 years of experience as teacher, researcher and author, and is interested in how technologies change what it means to learn and to have learned. He is currently a learning specialist for digital strategy and special projects at the Office of Open Learning at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada. His new book Learning in a Time of Abundance: The Community is the Curriculum, will be released by Johns Hopkins University Press in January 2024.
