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, regulary 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 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 through December 4. 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.

What reporting must happen by January 29, 2027? What happens if you don’t meet these deadlines? And what, when, and how do you submit OER to COOL4Ed? Join us for an overview of expectations, deadlines, and answers to your questions. Come for the updates, stay for the solutions—and leave knowing what you need to do next.

Monday, September 28, 2026 from 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Somewhere out there is a faculty member at another college searching COOL4Ed for exactly what you built. Will they be able to use it? To date, over 110 submissions have been made to the portal, and a review of them reveals how often the answer is no — not because the work is poor, but because the submission does not provide sufficient context for the next person to fully understand what has been provided and how to use it. Join us for a practical look at what makes a ZTC submission genuinely useful and bring your questions.
