SUMMARY:OER @ TDL: OER Course Marking: Promoting Open & Affordable Resources
DESCRIPTION:Course marking—the practice of designating courses that use open educational resources (OER) or other no- or low-cost resources—helps students identify affordable course options in their class schedules\, enabling them to make informed decisions when they register for classes. In addition to providing valuable information to students\, course markings also help institutions assess the use and impact of OER. However\, it can be challenging to initiate and maintain this process of marking courses\, which often involve a large number of stakeholders across the institution. In this session\, we will hear how three institutions have initiated and improved upon course marking processes for their students. They will share their challenges\, successes\, and future plans to establish sustainable course marking workflows in order to better promote open and affordable resources. \n\nQuarterly OER @ TDL meetings are organized by the TDL OER Users Group and are open to anyone interested\, regardless of membership in the Texas Digital Library.\nThe OER @ TDL meetings are not recorded in order to cultivate candid conversations. Presentations and resources shared during the meeting will be shared with registrants afterward.\n\nContributors: \n\nDeeAnn Ivie\, Open Education Coordinator\, The University of Texas at San Antonio\, (she/her)\nLisa Louis\, Director\, User and Research Services\, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (she/her)\nKyle Gullings\, Professor\, School of Performing Arts\, The University of Texas at Tyler (he/him)\n\nModerator: Kate McNally Carter\, Open Education Librarian\, University of Houston (she/her) \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Navigating Uncertainty Together: A Digital POWRR Reflection Workshop for Digital Preservation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Digital preservation work increasingly takes place under conditions of uncertainty: shifting funding landscapes\, evolving systems\, unclear authority\, and emotional strain. While technical assessment frameworks help institutions evaluate infrastructure and workflows\, they rarely address the human experience of stewardship work—confidence\, safety\, belonging\, and sustainability. \nThis interactive workshop introduces and applies Navigating Uncertainty\, a human-centered reflection and assessment framework developed by the Digital POWRR team through the Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program. Participants will actively complete the framework for their own professional context and engage in structured peer dialogue using guided reflection prompts. \nRather than producing a formal assessment outcome\, the workshop emphasizes learning through reflection and conversation. Participants are invited to surface insights\, clarify next steps\, and reconnect with a sense of agency and community\, highlighting how shared understanding and connection can be sources of joy even amid uncertainty. \n\nDate: September 25\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Central Time\nPresenter: Stacey Jones\, Digital Preservation Librarian\, University of Arizona\n\nRegistration is required.
