The biggest #OER­camp of the year is hap­pen­ing Sep­tem­ber 4th–6th, 2025 in Hanover and offers three days packed with every­thing Open Edu­ca­tional Resources (OER), up to date edu­ca­tion, and dig­i­tal teach­ing mate­ri­als. twillo sup­ports the event as one of its coop­er­a­tion part­ners and also gives numer­ous work­shops.

Come and par­tic­i­pate in twillo’s work­shops, in which we present our lat­est research on AI and OER, exam­ine AI and OER in prac­tice, fos­ter the han­dling of meta­data and OER, con­vey the basics of OER and our OER-por­tal twillo, or dis­cuss the future of interfed­eral OER-infra­struc­ture. More details and links to the respec­tive entries in the OER­camp pro­gram can be found in the fol­low­ing.

What is the OERcamp?

Since 2012, the OER­camp has been the cen­tral meet­ing place for the Ger­man-speak­ing com­mu­nity around Open Edu­ca­tional Resources (OER) and con­tem­po­rary edu­ca­tion. It brings together stake­hold­ers from all areas of edu­ca­tion and pro­motes open­ness, par­tic­i­pa­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion. With for­mats such as bar­camps, work­shops and other offer­ings, OER­camp pro­vides a plat­form for learn­ing, shar­ing and dis­cussing together.

Highlights

• Three-day pro­gram: prac­ti­cal work­shops, a bar­camp and a com­mu­nity meet­ing with diverse con­tent for all areas of edu­ca­tion.
• Two loca­tions: Hanover Uni­ver­sity of Applied Sci­ences and Arts and Multi Media BBS at Expo Plaza Hanover — right next to each other.
• Diverse for­mats: Sat­ur­day is ded­i­cated to the day of prac­ti­cal work­shops, sup­ple­mented by com­mu­nity meet­ings and a large bar­camp takes place on Fri­days.

The Bar­camp is designed by the par­tic­i­pants and the entire pro­gram enables exchange and net­work­ing in an open edu­ca­tional com­mu­nity.

Date

• Save the date: Thurs­day to Sat­ur­day 04.09 — 06.09.2025 in pres­ence.

KI@OER: Dou­ble the chal­lenge and dou­ble the oppor­tu­nity?

Dr. Klaus Wan­nemacher

In this work­shop we present the find­ings of our mixed meth­ods sur­vey, in which we elu­ci­date exist­ing fields of appli­ca­tions, obsta­cles, and poten­tials for using AI in the con­text of OER.

Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 4th, 2025, 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

AI and OER in use: Enhanc­ing OER with AI in a ver­sa­tile and legally com­pli­ant way

Yulia Loose & Johannes Koch

In this inter­ac­tive Pre­Camp-work­shop we intro­duce tested exem­plary cases, cre­ative prompts, and legal knowhow. Together with par­tic­i­pants we dis­cuss sce­nar­ios of appli­ca­tion, reflect didac­tic pos­si­bil­i­ties, and elu­ci­date the legal frame­work. The par­tic­i­pant are also encour­aged to put the use of AI and OER in con­for­mity with the law to the test.

Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 4th, 2025, 12:00–1:00 p.m.

Every 11 sec­onds a teacher falls in love with an OER — thanks to meta­data

Sabine Stum­meyer & David Stöll­ger

Meta­data play a cru­cial role in the find­abil­ity of Open Edu­ca­tional Resources; irre­spec­tive of your level of exper­tise when it comes to OER. We want to show that describ­ing one’s own works with meta­data need not be a pesky nui­sance in the process of pub­li­ca­tion, but can be also be fun.

 

Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 6th, 2025, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

OER in teach­ing design: basics and prac­ti­cal appli­ca­tions

Noreen Krause & David Stöll­ger

In this entry-level work­shop, which is also open to the advanced, we reflect the basics of the usage and cre­ation of OER. The focus of this work­shop is the hands-on pro­duc­tion of Open Edu­ca­tional Resources and Prac­tices. Using real world exem­plary cases we dis­cuss the oppor­tu­ni­ties and hin­drances that come with Open Edu­ca­tion and demon­strate how OER can be uti­lized in teach­ing in a mean­ing­ful way. We also intro­duce our OER-por­tal twillo to show how OER can be pub­lished, found and reused.

Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 6th, 2025, 1:30–4:00 p.m.

How can the devel­op­ment of interfed­eral OER-infra­struc­ture be a suc­cess?

David Stöll­ger & Noreen Krause

In this work­shop we will present the cur­rent progress of the devel­op­ment of an interfed­eral OER-infra­stru­ture. Let’s dis­cuss how to expand exist­ing coop­er­a­tions and the pre­con­di­tions for the future devel­op­ments of a fair land­scape of OER-por­tals.
