Upcoming OERI Webinars and Events
The ASCCC OERI provides professional development regarding OER via webinars, visits to colleges, events, and presentations. During the academic year, weekly webinars provide a forum to share discipline-based information as well as information on specific topics related to OER advocacy, adoption, and development. Live webinars provide an opportunity for the OERI to hear from faculty at the colleges and our archived webinars serve as a useful library of resources.
During Spring 2024, the OERI’s twice monthly webinars (Friday Forums) will be on the 1st and 3rd Friday starting in February. There are expectations with February 23 and April for Spring Plenary session. The final one of the term will be on May 3rd.
The ASCCC OERI will provide automated captioning for all webinars and OER Liaison events (i.e., conversations, orientations, and webinars). If you would like to request a live human closed captioner for any of our offerings, please contact us by e-mail at least 10 business days in advance.
