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 2021 term our weekly webinars are Fridays at 10:30 am, beginning on September 10.
Beginning November 2020, 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.

- Using Virtual Environments to Teach Computer Science
Thursday, December 2, 1:00 – 2:00 pm
Register for Using Virtual Environments to Teach Computer Science
Computer Science, like many of the sciences, includes more than lectures, readings, research, and writing papers. It includes the necessity of computers to program, networks to configure, and systems that you can destroy and recreate if necessary. There is a plethora of solutions for the writing computer software…all at no cost to the user. When the need is for computer system/network to configure or to debug – it becomes a bit more of a challenge.

Friday, December 3, 10:30 – 11:30 am
Register for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) – A Process for Reviewing and Improving Courses and Course Resources
The ASCCC OERI has developed a framework for reviewing and improving existing OER with respect to IDEA. The ASCCC OERI’s IDEA Framework may be applied not only to OER, but also to commercial and instructor-developed resources to determine if they are appropriate for our students. Join us for a review of the developed framework and a consideration of discipline-specific issues that warrant attention. Assist the OERI in identifying next steps in this evolving approach to improving course resources and student success.

- RFP IV Focused Webinar I – Making the Case
Monday, December 6, 3:00 – 4:00 pm
Register for RFP IV Focused Webinar I – Making the Case
All proposals must focus on a target course or courses, creating or improving OER that will ultimately lead to cost savings for students. How do you establish the import of your target course? How do you determine which colleges offer the course you are developing a resource for? And how do you calculate the potential savings associated with your resource? In this webinar we will explore strategies for answering these important questions.
