The bi-annual OER Collective Community Days provide an opportunity for project teams to showcase their work, learn and connect with like-minded professionals. It sets the tone for a supportive, productive, and inclusive year ahead. You can expect guest speakers, panel sessions, Q&A and more.
In previous years, it was one half-day event (4 1/2 hours). After surveying the community, we will held two shorter Community Day events in 2024 to accommodate as many people as possible.
These events have now passed, but you can view the recordings and programs on the CAUL Events website:
Libraries participating in 2024 retain access to the Pressbooks platform until 31 December 2024.
If a book team has not completed their book and the institution chooses to renew their membership with the OER Collective for 01/01/2025-31/12/2025, the book team will continue to have access to the platform to complete their book until 31/12/2025.
If a book team has not completed their book and the institution does not renew their membership with the OER Collective post 31/12/2024, the team will be given time to download all formats of their book. The team can continue to work on the book external to the Pressbooks platform or the files can be uploaded to another instance of Pressbooks. No content will be lost.
