Gettin’ Air with Jesslyn Wilkinson. As a teacher in Ontario’s public school system and former educational technology consultant in higher education, Jesslyn explores a gap that many K–12 educators know all too well: teachers are often expected to create curriculum resources from scratch, even when colleagues across the province are teaching the same learning outcomes. If you've ever wondered what an Open Education-style approach to K–12 learning resources might look like, this episode shines a bat signal into that possibility.

Gettin' Air crosses the Atlantic to chat with open education power duo Dr. Beck Pitt and Dr. Rob Farrow about the upcoming OER26 conference, the future of open education, AI, radical change, global collaboration, doctoral research, and, of course, the origin story of GoGN’s beloved penguin mascots.

A special episode, recorded in front of a live audience, featuring Dr. Jess Mitchell at eCampusOntario's TESS Conference.
