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.

Proposals can be submitted online at https://kusurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8xduO2QXhRgtq1U.  The deadline for proposal submission is Friday, January 14, 2022.  Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by Friday, January 28, 2022.
