Wed, Dec 3, 2025 / 9:00am to 9:15am

CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources.

December 3, 10, and 17, 9:30 am – 11:00 am (materials for first session sent to participants beginning on November 20, live sessions via Zoom on December 3, 10, and 17).

Attendees should plan to attend each live session.

CARLI is planning to offer this program multiple times throughout the year.

The virtual program will contain both synchronous (3 live 90 minutes Zoom sessions) and asynchronous activities (readings, videos, etc.) to be completed before each live session. The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the program planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

Technology used for live sessions: Zoom, ideally participants will be able to use video as well as audio.

The asynchronous portions of the training, shared with participants weekly, should not take longer than one hour of your time prior to each live session.

The train-the-trainer program is designed to help the novice person learning about open educational resources to apply the information from this program to build their own local programs and workshops as they move up the Bloom’s Taxonomy from remember and understand to apply.

These monthly, informal, agenda-free meetings provide a platform for you to talk with other directors about topics on your radar and/or updates from your library. CARLI usually provides updates as well. CARLI rotates the meetings (day of the week, time of day) to accommodate busy calendars. We do our best to avoid conferences, holidays, and other conflicts. Please let me know about times/days that never work for you. If you cannot attend, you may send a representative. We look forward to seeing you all for conversation and updates!

Check your CARLI Governing Directors email for connection information.

The meetings are recorded. The recordings are posted for 30 days here: https://www.carli.illinois.edu/membership/directors#
