Stay tuned for more upcoming workshops!
Introduction to OER - Learn the basics about OER and how to find them.
OER and Accessibility - Learn how to identify accessible OER and how to adapt OER to meet accessibility standards.
​Copyright and OER - Learn about Creative Commons and other copyright issues within OER.
OER and Canvas - Learn how to put your OER in Canvas - with proper licensing - and share through the Canvas Commons.
ASCCC's OERI, CCCOER, and other OER-focused organizations host monthly webinars (sometimes even more frequently). When available, they will be listed here.
Is academic freedom an absolute right? How do you balance the societal interest – or moral imperative – in ensuring education is affordable for students with a faculty member’s freedom to select the resources they believe to be best for the curriculum? Join us as we navigate the intersections of societal interests, faculty purview, academic freedom, and OER. All questions, comments, and conundrums are welcome.
Register for Biotechnology and OER: Collecting Material for Curation/Creation
Join us in this conversation to explore curated examples of expanded and developed material in biotechnology. Our goals for our time together are to share ideas and materials and set up collaborations with colleagues.
Register for Anti Racism in Action: IDEA Framework Basics Training
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) is an important element of student equity efforts at all of our colleges. Join us for a hands-on training to learn how you can use the OERI IDEA Framework to ensure your course materials reflect anti-racist and culturally-relevant pedagogy. In this training, we will review the IDEA Framework and explore how it can be used as an assessment tool for OER. Remember, equity is a journey and not a destination. Let’s keep going!
Register for OER for Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology
An analysis of zero-textbook-cost (ZTC) data obtained from California Community Colleges (CCC) reveals that the biology courses that commonly are needed for allied health pathways are being taught with OER at some colleges and that others have found the available resources lacking. What resources are CCC faculty using – and how have they addressed common complaints about the available OER? Join us to consider the available resources and discuss potential approaches to increasing OER adoption across the CCCs.
Register for ZTC Labs – Lab-Specific Challenges and Solutions
Labs are commonly reported to be one of the most challenging types of courses to get to ZTC. While openly-licensed lab manuals may be available, what do you do when printing is a must? Are the images in that open educational resource (OER) lab manual of sufficient quality? What is needed to make your homegrown lab manual OER? Join us for an interdisciplinary discussion of the unique barriers to establishing ZTC lab sections and approaches to overcoming them.
Register for ZTC, OER, and Political Science
The ZTC Acceleration Grant Collaboration Cohorts established by the ASCCC OERI will increase the use of OER by ensuring an awareness of openly-licensed texts and ancillaries as well as, hopefully, lead to the development new resources. This webinar will provide an opportunity to share the resources and needs identified through the gathering of ZTC data from the cohort members – and a place to discuss potential collaborations.
