They're going to move to the next speaker, Mrs.
Regina Mark, a professor from the Republic of Uruguay.
She perfect the trap window on.
The floor as your professor.
See when you get nervous.
Young
and don't see so perfect. Hmm.
But you see my head, I fear revealing everything, because.
Thank you very. Much.
First of all, for the invitation is an honor to share
this space with such respected colleagues.
This event.
Congratulation to the organization for this event.
I am going to talk to you about the chair that we have
at the Universidad de La Republica in Uruguay.
It is an open a public university.
Sitting down from their
beginning.
Is more than 270 years old.
And. It has around
85,000 active students
in a country of 3 million citizens.
It is
located.
That is one.
Of the most important university for the population, this chair.
It's an open education
chair that I started working in
in February 2021
with the professor Género this
April, the middle of this year, I assumed the direction of this chair.
The purpose is to provide those and holistic system of research,
training, information and documentation about open education.
Our purpose is to facilitate the collaboration between research
of high, high level researchers
recognized internationally and the
teaching staff of the university and other institutions in Uruguay.
Ottaway.
This chair is set
within the nucleus of open
educational resources and accessible
educational resources in the Andes in this interdisciplinary space.
And it has a strong link with the group
CETA,
which is a group Team.
Colombia,
effective from bones going to.
The chair.
Works.
With and in their separate interdisciplinary approach, where
the civilization of open education
is regarded as a complex topic.
But we do not only have
opened educational resources, but
we are also worried about inclusion and accessibility.
We have the objective of tackling open
pedagogies alongside with ethics
and digital rights supported by digital tools.
And of.
Course, fostering
mainly open communities.
When you see our.
Open practice communities with this interdisciplinary approach
and also an intersection sectorial approach, because
not only other areas of the university participate
in this project where we have sociologist participate.
Obviously educational professionals, but also I.T.
engineers. For the.
Information science experts
and also organizations from the social area.
You see that those.
Such as data societies ends.
In the form of.
Social rights groups.
So in order to gather all these diversity,
we focused our work on developing
interdisciplinary and inter sectorial project rights.
That leads us to an emergent perspective on
to open education alongside a complete
open movement with
open awareness.
The shape of this project.
Is. Characterized by.
The. Fact that they are research projects with
an outcome.
We want for them to have a practical path
for developing open education and
open science.
The thing that we talked about the most from this chair is.
Seeing one side of things is.
The gathering of workers and the gathering of experts
in order to establish collaboration.
And that. These tools can.
Act as the basis of
this project and to provide our part
in this effort
at a global level.
Our focus is mainly on the regional integration.
We work with different colleagues from Mercosur
that provide visibility
to open education in Latin America,
especially in
Latin American conferences
such as the conference.
Students in the US has been going on
for more than 16 years old for more than 16 years.
Sorry.
And you can divide us and
you'll never hear me.
These projects have been fostered by.
Both of you.
These are stakeholders
focused on research projects.
We have two of the main projects that we have been part of.
One of them called Praxis.
Its objective is to
train on
didactic and.
Guide.
Pedagogical technologies and to teach and practices.
This this project
established open educational practices in
practice.
Communities of open research.
The other project I want to talk about is called
the Biblioteca Accessible, a project
accessible libraries.
For Mundo Nova because then accessible.
Its goal was to improve the literacy
on information, providing accessible digitalization,
accessible digital libraries methodologies.
For example.
We were able to digitalize all the
mandatory
documentation,
I think.
Of the. University.
In. The textbooks
for the first six years of primary
education were all digitalized
and as a result of these processes, we achieved a methodology
on how to digitalize and make accessible
these documents
by bearing in mind the needs of the users.
We don't.
We couldn't do it for our students, but
we did it with them, with our students.
But trying to improve the quality of what we do
by bearing in mind and responding to the needs of the co-creation.
System at the end is often happening.
These documents are available.
You can find them in the address.
You can read web page, which is the interdisciplinary space.
We had a little syllabus and ensure.
These work were
the approach that we obtained from educational.
Open Education is not only to create content,
it is an activity that we.
Go up.
About
as a curricular development
Activity carried out
by. Literacy was done for about dealing at.
Stakeholders with
certain professional identities in our framework,
in a kitchen. The.
Framework situate that is situated
and mobilized
and it mobilizes force for transformation of processes.
Essentially the same.
We wanted to understand the identity of the different stakeholders
researchers, professors and students.
They have to be.
So. Cared for it
in their own places.
And that was especially relevant in the
Bibliotheque Accessible, a project.
Campus
to the prosecution.
Almost after this project,
the pandemic happened and the situation changed a bit.
Now we have a post pandemic situation,
but what did we learn from the pandemic,
including also
the a trend that appeared
in these last years?
Our objective now is to use a A.I.
to harness it, focusing on
teaching and the teaching staff and the students
to achieve resilient and inclusive learning and teaching processes.
Open education cannot be achieved
if it is not inclusive and to achieve that,
we have to harness all the tools needed to navigate
through different crises or pandemics that may happen at any point.
During.
Our current structure.
Our current work field is designed on
three.
Lonely. Axes.
In 80 countries, each.
Based on data and digital rights,
education and open science.
We have the union of researchers
and educators or
teaching staff and then
ethics. And then.
Lastly, digital media
and educational technologies or digital tools.
Sorry.
Based on that, we have data
and artificial intelligence as one of our work focuses.
We also have designed geological models as one of them.
And lastly, we have diversity, inclusion and resilience.
These three focuses are and isolated.
They are connected, working
together to bond
research questions that we may have, such as, for example,
what do data say
about our educational models
and our pedagogical models,
or the pieces of data that exist
regarding the work of digital platforms?
So we have to ask these data how to improve
our educational systems and our pedagogical systems
to transform them into more resilient
programs and models.
Most of all, our resilience models and our inclusive models.
Our pedagogical
our pedagogical models inclusive are resilient.
And give me the idea.
But it came
after.
What extent the world with data.
And I feared that designing of these pedagogical model
these are one of the questions we are currently working on.
If this little throwback
was coupled with the scenario that you have, if you see all.
These work.
In anarchy here, you can see.
Converge on it.
If you open science and open education, this is a diagram taken
from the Fire Cruise Institute
of Brazil.
And then we.
Eat shows in a very graphical way.
Everything that open science.
Process.
Entails, open processes.
That we know is.
Open pedagogy, pedagogy as well.
We have to see this.
And these open research
has to be conducted
with the fair.
Design.
And I also think that you
are seeing protests,
see in contrary acts, you see in the.
Mix for all these research
and an accessible, reusable, interoperable
and easy to find
research.
Reality Q70 Listen.
With the option of reusing them in a precise
and relevant way with meta metadata descriptions so.
That you know English to use here.
Now we have the.
The. Dandy.
Virgins between open
education and open science is very big
and it is not only based on probably
the publication of articles, birds, etc.,
but also the publication of it
data of open research and investigations
carried out in an open way.
In this sense, we are conducting in.
A bond and I think.
Incurs activities that
have to do with these, such as, for example,
the UNESCO's chair.
That's
the Mercosur Network for Higher Education,
which is a network that
encompasses different universities
from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay,
and that focus on the management
of the data of educational institutions.
We have noticed that there are only
a few repositories
of this type of data and
and even fewer repositories on data
from educational institutions from. Our.
Part of the world.
We are working with other colleagues
from Latin America
in this field.
We also have projects that related to a
I and a analytics learning center.
Dallas with a focus on explaining them by having
the teachers and the professors in the core of the process.
Is central.
Using books. And.
They are at the core and they are the ones that manage.
These are applications
in this case with learning analytics and
also.
Intimate DE.
For educational recommendations
in regard
with.
The yeah, Co-Designing
from this unit, I got the little
e e the name of Atonement.
We currently have two prototypes.
On TV system.
That are being used.
The first one is a tool for designing courses.
This is on a
support system.
I recommend that all.
The teaching staff that. Are.
There is recommended by.
The contract of whether in.
Tools that, for example, provide information on where to find.
And generally where to see that.
Open educational resources.
And then also.
How can I open my course to more students?
And we are also working on a mobile app.
In your country and is.
Completely opened and being co-designed
also with students.
I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that we are running out of time,
so could you please finish with your presentation?
Yes, of course. We have
training courses, as I always say.
And so in order to finish, these are the things
that we learned from our work.
We have to focus on Intersectoral and interdisciplinary work.
Based upon all that.
And I also want to highlight note The.
Point at the heart rate is.
The outcomes that this research has
in terms of building international networks.
That is everything that I wanted to say.
Thank you very much and I am sorry for
having had to say that, but we are running out of time.
I am going to finish this with a phrase that I believe is so.
I mean, this.
Summarizes very well, which is that
your work is tethering these and that which thank you very much.
