| April 14 | K-12 and Community Colleges Collaborate on OER Open Educational Resources (OER) can make education more equitable and inclusive at any level of education. Hear from a panel of K-12 and community college educators as they compare and contrast the benefits and challenges of transforming learning with open practices and open content that is adaptable by teachers and students. The topic of why and how faculty can work together across school sectors to support students in their local community will be explored. |
| May 12 | Finding Professional Development Resources for OER Adoption and Creation Do you, or the faculty and staff you work with need more help getting started with OER adoption and creation? In this webinar, we will talk with experienced open education practitioners and trainers who will share free and inexpensive professional development resources and opportunities. We’ll explore resources that can be adapted to train faculty and staff at your institution. |
| June 9 | Models for Transforming Classrooms to be Equitable and Antiracist Many college faculty and staff have been engaged in making their institutions more accessible, inclusive, and equitable through the adoption of OER and open educational practices. One year ago, the need for this work became even more apparent as educators began to recognize that the structural racism deeply embedded in our society was in fact very evident in higher education as well. We invite you to hear from three college professors and the program staff who supported them in moving from the desire to make their classrooms more equitable and antiracist to taking concrete actions to do so. |
