Advancing Open Education Together: An Intersegmental OER Summit

[Delmar Larsen]

Dear Open Colleagues:

This year, the Cal OER organizing committee is running two in-person OER conferences to complement the virtual full-state conference and is open to all. Join regional colleagues from across California’s higher education systems for a day-long convening focused on advancing open educational resources (OER) through collaboration, shared learning, and strategic dialogue: 

• UC Irvine, Irvine, CA (Friday, May 15, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm)
  
• Norco College, Norco, CA (Saturday, May 16, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm)

Participants from the University of California, California State University, and California Community Colleges will come together to hear system-level updates, highlight local successes and ongoing challenges, and explore emerging issues shaping the future of open education. The event will also examine the evolving intersection of OER and artificial intelligence and provide space for discussion around regional partnerships and cross-system collaboration. Through conversation and knowledge-sharing, this gathering aims to strengthen the statewide open education community and identify opportunities to expand equitable access to learning materials for students.

Registration

A light breakfast will be served and lunch will be provided. In order to defray costs, a registration fee of $25 will be charged. Space is limited.
