What is a Collaboration Cohort, which disciplines will be collaborating within cohorts, and what is expected of participating colleges?

Introduction to Creative Commons Licensing
Thursday, February 8, 2024 from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

Searching for Open Educational Resources (OER)

Evaluating Open Educational Resources (OER) for Accessibility
Thursday, February 22, 2024 from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Accessibility is not only a legal and ethical requirement, it is central to creating resources that are inclusive and support the education of all learners. In this webinar, we will provide considerations for accessibility and tools for evaluating content.
Friday, February 23, 2024 from 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Faculty may find AI a powerful tool when developing OER. However, AI is not always a bias-free resource and faculty must recognize these biases when using AI to create – or adapt – OER. Join us as we explore AI biases and how we might use the IDEA principles to guard against them in our OER work.
