Gettin' Air with Terry Greene

In Professor Emiritus Martin Weller's third appearnace on Gettin’ Air, we chat about his transition from academic writing into horror novel writing. Is there any difference? Tune in to find out! "Publish or Perish just got real." Martin's newest novel, The H-Index, is out now!

Gettin' Air with Apurva Ashok, Executive Director of the Rebus Foundation. We chat about the organization’s journey from open education technology to a deeply human, values-driven approach to education. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Rebus focuses on open publishing, open pedagogy, professional development, and joyful learning. We explore Rebus’s values of reciprocity, authenticity, joy, agency, and curiosity and its collaborations across the global open education community. At the heart of the conversation is a question facing open education today: how can we keep people, purpose, and joy at the centre of educational change?

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 lovely conversation about where open education has been, where it’s headed, and why the next chapter might be the most interesting (challenging) yet!

Gettin' Air with Robin DeRosa and David Ernst. The Open Education Network is transitioning its leadership from one legend to the next as David Ernst ends 12 years of unsung heroics as executive director and the one and only Robin DeRosa takes over. Dave and Robin discuss the past present and future of the OEN. Is there a goat scream in there somewhere? Let's find out!

A special episode, recorded in front of a live audience, featuring Dr. Jess Mitchell at eCampusOntario's TESS Conference. In the dicsussion, we module the use of a pedagogical podcasting tool kit (found here) as a way to create relational learning through course-centered podcasting. Jess discusses her QRD model—Question, Reflect, Disrupt—for building brave spaces in education, shares practical design strategies, and offers real classroom stories. This is for educators seeking to foster connection, inclusion, and student voice in any classroom setting. The transcript can be found here.

Alan Levine doesn't need two turntables to turn the tables on Terry Greene. Just a microphone! In this crossover episode, Alan Levine interviews Terry about Gettin' Air for the OEG Voices Podcast. See the wonderful post here which put my typical show notes to absolute shame: https://podcast.oeglobal.org/2025/11/06/voices-87/

Gettin' Air with Dr. Jess Mitchell. Get ready for some delicious mind delights as OCADu's Dr. Jess Mitchell joins the show to discuss her dissertation: A Pedagogy of One: Engaging the ‘Missing Middle’ Toward Inclusion in Education. If your brain is on the look out to entangle itself with some deeply human thinking, this dissertation is probably definitely just the thing it's looking for.

Gettin' Air with Dr. Natalie Kouri-Towe, Associate Professor, Simone de Beauvoir Institute at Concordia University. Natalie joins the show to chat about the creation of an excellent new resource for educators, Reading the Room - Lessons on Pedagogy and Curriculum from the Gender and Sexuality Studies Classroom, on which she served as editor. The book is rich with pedagogical insights that can make positive impact on any classroom.

Gettin' Air with Dave Cormier. Dave returns to the show to chat about his new role at TRU, the trepidations of children with licenses to drive, and to scheme with Terry about starting a new cross-Canada instructional design/online learning community of practice. During the show these two quick thinkers could not think of a good name for it. However, immediately after, the man who coined the term MOOC does it again and calls it the Canadian Online Learning Discussions (COLD).
