• Abstract: Education should not be a privilege but a common good. It should be openly accessible to everyone, with as few barriers as possible; even more so for key technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Data Science (DS). Open Educational Resources (OER) are a crucial factor for greater educational equity. In this paper, we describe the specific requirements for OER in ML and DS and argue that it is especially important for these fields to make source files publicly available, leading to Open Source Educational Resources (OSER). We present our view on the collaborative development of OSER, the challenges this poses, and first steps towards their solutions. We outline how OSER can be used for blended learning scenarios and share our experiences in university education. Finally, we discuss additional challenges such as credit assignment or granting certificates.

  We introduce OpenR, an open-source framework for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) OpenR unifies data acquisition, reinforcement learning training, and non-autoregressive decoding into a cohesive software platform. Our work is the first to provide an open-source framework that explores the core techniques of OpenAI's o1 model with reinforcement learning.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated revolutionary abilities in language understanding and generation. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can offer reliable and up-to-date external knowledge. RA-LLMs have emerged to harness external and authoritative knowledge bases, rather than relying on the model's internal knowledge.

  We evaluate projects in terms of openness of code, training data, model weights, RLHF data, licensing, scientific documentation, and access methods. We find that while there is a fast-growing list of projects billing themselves as 'open source', many inherit undocumented data of dubious legality. Degrees of openness are relevant to fairness and accountability at all points.

  Large language models (LLMs) appear to offer a promising solution to the rapid creation of learning materials at scale. We compare the quality of resources generated by an LLM with those created by students as part of a learnersourcing activity. Our results show that the quality of AI-generated resources, as perceived by students, is equivalent to the quality of resources generated by their peers.

• Extracting Topics from Open Educational Resources [0.0]
  We propose an OER topic extraction approach, applying text mining techniques, to generate high-quality OER metadata about topic distribution. This is done by: 1) collecting 123 lectures from Coursera and Khan Academy in the area of data science related skills, 2) applying Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) on the collected resources in order to extract existing topics related to these skills, and 3) defining topic distributions covered by a particular OER.

We show that EDL offers significant advantages, such as overcoming the coverage problem, reducing the dependence of learned skills on the initial state, and allowing the user to define a prior over which behaviors should be learned.
