Hi all,

COERLL has been doing great work in sharing OER practices in higher education language learning. The focus is on world/foreign languages taught in the US. (I think the "higher education" framing should not be exclusive -- there is much that will be applicable to some K-12 educators and contexts, too).

Call for proposals

Language OER Conference

The Open Language Resource Center (University of Kansas) and the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (University of Texas at Austin) are seeking proposals for the second annual Language OER Conference to be held online Saturday, March 5, 2022 via Zoom. We invite faculty, graduate students and academic staff to participate in two major streams of inquiry related to Open Educational Resources (OER) for language learning and teaching:

15-minute lightning presentations showcasing large-scale language OER projects that include complete curricula in downloadable and web-based formats

30-minute explorations of topics related to OER production and adoption. Topics might include student- and faculty-led campus initiatives, the integration of OER production into teacher training, obstacles to OER adoption, evaluation of OER for promotion/tenure, publishing platforms, and issues of accessibility.
