Agenda

Session 1 — Wednesday, June 3 | Where We Are: Using AI, OER & Accessibility in Our Own Work

This opening session starts the practitioners in the room. How are instructional designers, accessibility specialists, and educational technology staff already drawing on AI, open educational resources, and accessibility frameworks in their day-to-day roles? What does that look like in practice, and where do the three areas actually touch?

Organizers will share brief, honest examples from their own work, and what they're experimenting with, what's working, and what's still uncertain. The bulk of the session is conversation: participants sharing their own experiences, naming what feels possible, and surfacing the questions they most want to explore together.

Session 2 — Wednesday, June 10 | Moving It Forward: How Do We Help Faculty?

Having grounded the conversation in our own practice, we turn to the people we support. How do we help faculty understand and use AI to create or adapt OER with accessibility genuinely built in and not added after the fact? This session explores practical strategies for faculty support: how to have productive conversations, what examples and models are most useful, and how to build capacity without overwhelming people. Participants will share approaches from their own institutions and think together about what's transferable.

Session 3 — Wednesday, June 17 | Looking Ahead: Ethics, Care & the Future of Learning

In our final session, we hold the bigger questions. In a moment of rapid change, how do we use AI, OER, and accessibility tools in ways that are ethical, legally sound, and genuinely kind to students, especially those most often underserved by traditional educational design? How do we stay curious about what these tools might help us imagine for the future of learning, while accepting that we'll never have complete answers? This session makes space for the ambiguity, the unresolved tensions, and the question of how we sustain this work and each other over time.
