About the Event
The ORCA.nrw OER Symposium 2026 will take place online on October 1, 2026. Throughout the day, participants can look forward to a keynote address, project presentations, workshops, and opportunities for discussion and networking related to Open Educational Resources.
The event showcases the wide range of disciplines covered by current OER projects: Presentations will include contributions from dentistry, electrical engineering, theology, economics, teacher education, and the STEM fields, among others. In addition, the workshops will address practical questions related to OER, artificial intelligence, quality assurance, and the design of open educational resources.
twillo’s post: The Third Look—Was the OER Quality Check Generated Artificially?
How can AI help assess the quality of open educational resources—and what remains beyond its reach? In this workshop, we will examine existing OER quality criteria and classify them together: Which aspects can be meaningfully analyzed using AI—such as formal, linguistic, or structural features? And where is subject-matter, pedagogical, and context-specific assessment still needed—for example, regarding suitability for target audiences, teaching and learning objectives, or the specific needs of the learning group?
