STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING OPEN EDUCATION RESOURCES (OER) WITH AI IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION
1Tao Le and 2Goh Poh-Sun
1United States of America and 2Singapore
Workshop Description
Historically, high-quality health professions education has been expensive to develop and limited to major commercial or academic publishers. New digital platforms have accelerated the development of open education resources (OER), which have evolved to address critical cost and accessibility issues in education globally. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools, in particular, offer unprecedented opportunities to streamline content creation, personalised learning, and automate resource curation, further expanding equitable access to quality educational materials. Finally, novel shared curricular ecosystem platforms can standardise and facilitate the management of OER, empowering a global community of medical educators to share, collaborate and go further together. This hands-on, interactive workshop builds on last year's successful session at APMEC 2025 and will provide participants with an introductory overview to OER with AI. Participants will be able to explore best practices for leveraging OER in existing curricular development processes. The facilitators will then discuss and demonstrate a variety of free, low-cost and AI-enabled tools for the development, management and sharing of OER. In small-group breakouts, participants will have an opportunity to experiment with selected tools to develop OER, exploring how AI can be used for content generation, translation or personalised learning pathways. Finally, potential pitfalls such as quality, critical appraisal, and copyright issues will be addressed, with a focus on responsible use of AI tools in the creation and dissemination of educational resources.
Workshop Objective
Upon completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
Explain the history, goals, and impacts of OER
Describe best practices for the development and implementation of OER
Identify and use free or low-cost tools, including AI-based solutions, to develop, manage and share OER
Explore AI's potential in accelerating content creation, improving translation and customising learner experiences
Discuss considerations for quality assurance, critical appraisal and copyright compliance, particularly in the context of responsible AI
Who Should Attend
Health professional education leaders, educators, learning designers in medical, nursing and allied health fields who are interested in sharing and collaborating with others, especially in low resource settings.
