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 the Spring 2026 academic term, the OERI Friday Forums will be held from 10:30 am – 11:30 am on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month. All Friday Forum webinars are recorded and archived.
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.

- Measuring Effort and Analytics with The Forge
Friday, February 20, 2026 from 10:30 am – 11:30 am
In the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era, educators are increasingly challenged by writing assignments and the need to distinguish between student-generated work and AI-leveraged content. The Forge offers a solution by shifting the focus from the final product to the writing process itself. This webinar will explore how instructors across various disciplines – from composition, world languages, and linguistics to chemistry and statistics – can use analytic maps to gain deeper insights into how students construct their work and visualize the writing process. With The Forge’s new integration with the LibreTexts ADAPT homework system, students can access The Forge with a single click while providing instructors with analytical tracking and rubric abilities, aligning with equitable grading practices such as mastery grading, contract-based grading, and ungrading by empowering students to show their critical thinking and revision history.

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 from 10:30 am – 11:00 am
The OERI is expanding the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Framework assessment process, our dedicated approach to reviewing new and revised OERI-supported materials to ensure they are inclusive, diverse, equity-minded, and anti-racist. This summer, we’re offering two exciting assessment sessions designed to meet you where you are: you can either submit your authored or adopted OER materials for expert review by our specially trained IDEA Framework assessors, or you can participate in a four week guided IDEA Framework assessment alongside fellow OER adopters, learning collaboratively while evaluating your own materials. Join our upcoming information session where we’ll cover qualifications, expectations, and answer all your questions.
