Fall 2024 OER Workshops & Webinars

Open Textbook Workshops

Learn how to adopt, adapt, and create Open Textbooks in this comprehensive workshop series. Each session will cover different aspects of Open Textbooks, including understanding their benefits, finding and using Open Textbooks, strategies for adoption, and measuring their impact on teaching and learning. Attendees will gain practical insights into the open movement, the benefits of using OER, and how to contribute to an inclusive and engaging educational environment.

Open Textbook Workshop - Wednesday, December 11, 12-1:30pm - Central Library 109

 

Pressbooks Workshops

Join our Pressbooks workshop series to learn everything from the basics of creating and adapting OER to advanced techniques for enhancing your projects with multimedia, interactivity, and collaborative features. Whether you're starting your first OER project or looking to deepen your skills, our sessions will guide you through essential tools, best practices, and future directions in OER publishing.

 

Accessibility Workshops

Enhance your understanding of accessibility in OER with our two-part workshop series. The first session covers the importance of accessibility, legal requirements, and design principles, while the second session dives into practical applications, including evaluating and improving accessibility in your materials. Together, these workshops will equip you with the knowledge and tools to create inclusive, accessible educational resources for all learners.

 

OER Webinar Series

This fall, we're excited to introduce our new OER webinar series—dynamic, one-hour virtual sessions designed to spark conversations and ideas. Each webinar will be divided into two parts: the first half will deliver targeted content, while the second half will be an open forum for questions, discussions, and idea-sharing. Although each session is tailored to specific stakeholders, everyone is welcome to participate and contribute. Whether you're looking to learn, connect, or innovate, these webinars are for you!
