September 11 - Faculty for OER: An Interactive Panel Discussion
Higher education is increasingly busy, and faculty often work with minimal resources and support. In this webinar, you’ll hear from three faculty members who decided to get involved in open education in spite of these constraints. Panelists will share their experiences adopting, adapting, and creating Open Educational Resources (OER). This moderated panel discussion will be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions and learn from beginners to experts in OER development.

October 16 - California’s Big Bet on ZTCs
In 2021, California made the largest public investment in history in OER and Zero Textbook Cost degrees with a $115M grant program. Beginning in 2022, all California Community Colleges received funds to develop and implement ZTC pathways. As of 2024, colleges are developing hundreds of ZTC pathways to transform the student experience in the country’s largest system of higher education. What constitutes a ZTC pathway in California? How do 116 colleges prevent duplication of effort? What professional development is provided? In this session, hear from someone who is supporting colleges in this historic work.

November 20 - Open Education and Indigenous Knowledge
Open education (OE) discussions often revolve around copyright and intellectual property concepts rooted in European traditions, which can conflict with Indigenous knowledge systems. This webinar emphasizes Indigenous ways of knowing, cultural practices, lived experiences, and worldviews in the context of OE.
