This webinar series has ended, but we will announce our 2021 Spring webinars in January.
This series is free and open to the open education community and we encourage you to invite your colleagues to attend or better yet watch together and continue the discussion afterward.
More information about the speakers will be posted a couple of weeks prior to the webinar at https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/ as well as sent to the CCCOER Community email list and tweeted out via CCCOER’s Twitter.
If you can not join us live, we will update this page with a link to the slides and videos a couple of days after the webinar. Our webinar archives are also available at https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/.
| Sept 16 | Decolonizing the Course We’re starting the academic year with a critical discussion that so many educators are struggling with right now. How can we use OER to advance inclusion, address systemic racism, and give a voice to the life experiences of underrepresented people? Join us for this webinar to find out about emerging practices for transforming your instructional materials and practices featuring a librarian, an instructional coach, and a faculty member. Topics range from sourcing images to reflect your students’ culture and identity, reforming your syllabus towards inclusion, and converting your classes to include viewpoints that reflect varied cultural and gendered identities.

| Oct 14 | Culture Shift to Academic Freedom Open Education gives faculty the academic freedom to find, adapt, and create materials that are focused on how and what their students need to learn and be successful in their courses. It takes time and a different approach to your teaching practice. No longer limited by a commercial textbook’s outline of topic materials and lack of access by a significant percentage of their students, a faculty member can engage their students in more meaningful and effective learning experiences. Hear from faculty members, an administrator, and a student who are engaged in this sometimes challenging culture shift to reduce inequity and grow our pedagogical practices.

| Nov 4 | Navigating the Virtual Open Education Conferences In November, two conferences for engaging and sharing with others who are passionate about open education (OpenEd20 and OEGlobal 2020) are happening online, in back to back weeks. Join us for this pre-conference webinar to hear about the varied highlights, approaches, and how to avoid burnout while learning, connecting, and enjoying social interactions. Presenters include planners from both conferences who will share the inspiration and aspirations for these conference experiences.

| Dec 9 | Tracking Key Program Indicators (KPIs) for OER OER Initiatives have traditionally started with the goal of reducing cost for students in order to support timely degree completion. These are important, but alignment with institutional metrics related to accreditation and strategic goals such as how student learning is affected by the use of OER and whether OER adoption improves equitable outcomes can help make the case for ongoing support for your program. This webinar will help you to understand what type of data ought to be collected and how to link your OER initiative’s outcomes with other institutional metrics such as Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Presenters include open education leaders at equity-driven organizations and those who have worked with their institutional research office to link OER programs with the strategic plan.
