Language OER Conference


What is the Language OER Conference?

The goal of the Language OER Conference is to provide a venue to showcase large-scale language OER and to exchange information on topics related to OER production and adoption. The conference is completely online and completely free.  

The 2025 Language OER Conference is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2025. 

A call for proposals will go out in the latter part of Fall 2024.  Early inquiries are welcome.
