We are thrilled to invite you to the fourth annual Cal OER Conference, taking place virtually from Wednesday, August 7, to Thursday, August 8. We believe this is a must-attend event for educators, researchers, and innovators who want to learn more about Open Educational Resources (OER) and are passionate advocators of OER.
Here’s why:
1. Responsive Pedagogy: Extending Local Innovation to Advance Global Impact
Our conference theme reflects the transformative power of OER in shaping pedagogy. Join us as we explore how local innovations across the state of California, especially across the state’s three public higher education systems (the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California), can create a positive impact on education.
2. Distinguished Keynote Speakers
We are honored to have two remarkable thought leaders:
· Dr. Cable Green: As the Director of Open Knowledge at Creative Commons, Dr. Green champions open licensing, equitable access, and collaborative solutions. His expertise is invaluable for anyone passionate about OER.
· Dr. Virginia Clinton-Lisell: An Associate Professor at the University of North Dakota, Dr. Clinton-Lisell’s research delves into reading comprehension, open education, and effective learning. Her insights will inspire and inform.
3. Presentation Proposals: Share Your Expertise
We invite you to submit presentation proposals by Monday, June 3. Whether you’re an experienced presenter or a first timer, your insights matter. Access the 2024 Cal OER Conference: Presentation Proposal Submission Form to contribute to our vibrant program.
