There are many conferences, workshops, and presentations related to OER and other open education topics each year. Many are even free to attend, though some do have registration fees. Selected upcoming events are listed below with links to register.
- Open Education Week March 3th-7th, 2025: Join us as we celebrate and amplify the open education practices happening within the UT community. Events, both in person and virtual, will be aimed at educating faculty and staff about OER, open pedagogy, and open education initiatives.
- OER Faculty Panel March 6th, 2:00-3:00pm (CST): As open education initiatives continue to expand, some faculty are looking to create their own open educational resources. Pressbooks is a platform which houses a large catalog of open access books published by nearly 200 organizations and networks. In this virtual session, UT faculty members discuss their experience with using Pressbooks to create and house their open education projects. Panelists will discuss challenges, successes, and give insight into how others might utilize the program. This event is free and open to the UT community, but registration is required.

- OER Tabling Event, March 5th, 12:00 - 2:00pm (CST): Stop by the PCL lobby to learn about OER initiatives happening at UT. Ask questions, complete our poll, or just come see what OER is all about.
