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 Fall 2025 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.

Friday, September 5, 2025 from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
By using OER, faculty can customize course materials to reflect their distinctive approach to the curriculum. Additionally, the ASCCC OERI IDEA Framework can help faculty in adapting those materials to reflect the diversity of their unique students. The recently developed IDEA Framework Assessment Process is designed to assist faculty who wish to improve their resources with IDEA principles in mind. Join us to learn about the intersection of OER and IDEA – and OERI’s IDEA plans for the future.

AI has joined the conversation of developing and improving existing OER — but how much should we allow it to contribute? What are the ethical considerations and where are the technical red lines? In this session, we’ll examine the benefits, boundaries, and potential pitfalls of integrating AI into OER creation. The conversation will balance useful tips with guidance on responsible practice.
