Bridgitt Mitchell, CCCOnline,
Chris Luchs, CCCOnline,
Kae Novak, University of Colorado - Denver

OER + Blockchain for Decentralization of Academic Publishing

Sherry Jones, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design

OER is a progressive product that signals the decentralization of education and academic publishing, and thus supports educators' academic freedom to create innovative teaching materials.

Instead of using textbooks by traditional publishers, educators can author OERs that reflect their disciplinary training and teaching philosophy. This session will present a design future in which blockchain technology will enable educators to decentralize, author, track, and protect their copyright of OERs.


Technology, Dominant Culture & Social Justice
Helga Hizer, Colorado State University,
Albert Lionell, Colorado State University
Diana Montealegre, University of Colorado - Boulder
Kae Novak, University of Colorado - Denver

Technology is not neutral. This session will be a discussion of how technology interacts with both sides of dominant culture. We will explore how education technology and instructional design can address students’ multiple identities to include race, ethnicity, gender and country of origin. Resources from talk. 


Keynote: The Prison to School Pipeline of EdTech

Shea Swauger, Auraria Library, University of Colorado - Denver

Predictive analytics, facial recognition, body scanners, metal detectors, isolation rooms, bullet proof windows and backpacks are all examples of carceral technology being sold as EdTech innovation. Education has an unfortunate history of implementing technology that originated in prisons and law enforcement and it’s continuing that trend with technology and data-driven systems today. We need to understand why this is happening, what’s at stake, and what we can do about it. Participants should come prepared to critically reflect on technology, education, and the criminal justice system.
​Trauma, Disruption and Care: Some thoughts about distance learning.
Remi Kalir, University of Colorado - Denver
Brent Wilson, University of Colorado - Denver
Kae Novak, University of Colorado - Denver

This was a facilitated discussion on how we as professionals should/could be dealing with equity, distance, care and leadership during the pandemic.

When Worlds Collide: Equity Considerations for Synchronous Learning in Global Online Programs
Jeff Renfrow, Colorado Christian University

Online programs that require synchronous meetings or field-based experiences (e.g. teacher prep., counseling, nursing, etc.) and serve students around the world do, or will experience complications associated with the addition of the fourth dimension of time. We're all aware of the challenges of scheduling synchronous experiences that consider multiple time zones.  But, what do we do when our global students are living within socially-constructed calendars that can conflict with the North American-centric calendars we typically design our courses around? The presenter will share some examples of these challenges, as well as how his unit is working to resolve them. Participants will share their own challenges and solutions and we'll brainstorm to solve as-yet experienced challenges of navigating the four dimensions of global, synchronous online programming.
