Did you miss out on the Open Education Conference this year or couldn't get to every session because they had 500,000 really cool concurrent things? Never fear! I got you. Well, at least for the sessions I attended.

I've only recently become aware of the #OSCQR standards, and I absolutely love that they're CC-BY openly licensed. Engaging with them was one of many great outcomes of #OpenEd23!

Can anyone more familiar with them help me better understand why Standard 4 asserts that a lack of editability is better than providing a range of document types, including .doc(x)?

The fullest explanation I can find is here: https://oscqr.suny.edu/standard4/

It repeatedly stresses "editable = bad," but doesn't explain precisely why, or detail what scenarios this lack of editability will solve.

From my #accessibility-focused perspective, allowing students ease of access in a wide variety of formats is generally best.

Is "don't edit" meant to avoid students accidentally editing and confusing themselves? Concerns about academic integrity? Fears that someone will misrepresent the syllabus outside of the institution? #higherEd

@econproph @actualham @lornamcampbell @rajiv @cogdog @billymeinke @Mweller Not sure if anyone replied, or if you found it in the end, but you (rather ironically) already said it without the hash: #OpenEd23

And that's a wrap on #OpenEd23 session highlights. If you're keen for all the resources and awesome discussion shared during the conference, I'll be writing up my full notes from the sessions I attended in a blog post on https://EmpoweredOER.com So, keep an eye out for that!

Student panel of brazen #OER leaders at #OpenEd23🤩Legit 2pgs of quotes, but here's the punch: "Accountability needs to be woven through post-secondary education… don’t put the onus on [students] when they’re the ones paying thousands of dollars to be present" – Dana Jamaleddine

Open Philosophy Ped #OpenEd23 sesh made my little nerdy heart smile as we coded away our Twinery games while Sherry Jones taught us about gamified learning: “Games express political & culturally charged content... Games are logic machines; they are also normative ethical learning.” 👩‍💻
