Next Wednesday - Open Exchange: Preparing for the ADA Title II Accessibility Deadline

[Liz Yata]

Join CCCOER’s Open Exchange, an informal, discussion-focused webinar series designed for peer-to-peer dialogue. Each session revolves around a single question or topic shared in advance, giving participants time to reflect and come prepared to engage. To ensure a safe space for open conversation, sessions will not be recorded; instead, a brief summary or key takeaways will be shared afterward.

This Open Exchange focuses on the upcoming U.S. ADA Title II compliance deadline, which has prompted urgency – and, for many, anxiety – across the community. Whether you’re feeling confident about your remediation progress or just beginning to navigate what’s required, this conversation is designed to offer support, clarity, and practical guidance. And for those in Canada preparing for the various deadlines across provinces for the Accessible Canada Act, come to stay motivated or get a head start.

Representatives from LibreTexts, Manifold, and Pressbooks, will join us to share links, tips, and tools, but the direction of the session will come from you: your questions, your experiences, and your needs. 

We warmly invite:

• Those who feel ready or have made strong progress to offer insight to peers.

• Those who feel unsure or overwhelmed to ask questions and receive support from colleagues who understand the challenges.

Join us for a candid, community-centered conversation as we navigate the path toward accessible, equitable open content – together.

When: Wednesday, January 21, 2026, 3 pm ET/ 12 pm PT
