If you’ve heard of LibreTexts but aren’t quite sure where to start, this one’s for you. Join a member of our team for a guided tour of the “LibreVerse,” our full ecosystem of free, open tools we’ve built to support educators and students at every stage of their learning journey.
We’ll walk you through our repository of over a million pages of OER content; our Remixer that lets you take any of it and make it your own; Conductor and Workbench for keeping your projects and teams on track; and ADAPT, our open homework and assessment platform; and more.

Stronger Together: The Network of Open Organizations
2026-03-03 17:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Paris) | Concord, United States, Concord, MA, United States
The Network of Open Organizations is a global alliance of diverse institutions and leaders committed to expanding open education and access to knowledge worldwide. Launched in 2019 and coordinated by Open Education Global, the Network brings together educational institutions, NGOs, inter-governmental bodies, and other open advocates to collaborate on shared goals, including supporting the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER) and advancing broader open education initiatives worldwide. By fostering ongoing dialogue, mutual support, and coordinated action, the Network helps amplify collective efforts, share best practices, and align global, regional, and local strategies for openness in education and beyond.
At its core, the Network serves as a learning and collaboration hub—a space where members exchange insights, and also seek to co-develop initiatives, and engage with complex challenges that no single organisation could address alone.
The Network of Open Organizations meets online on the first Tuesday of each month. Join us for the session during Open Education Week on Tuesday, 3 March from 5:30 pm until 6:30 Paris time to engage with selected representatives of the Network of Open Organizations members, learn about the network activities and future intentions and information on how to join.

Open to All: Accessibility in the LibreVerse
2026-03-03 10:30 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Davis, United States, Davis, CA, United States
Open education only works if everyone can access it. That’s why LibreTexts is currently conducting a comprehensive accessibility audit of our platform and features, with the results shaping both our updated conformance documentation and a clear roadmap to remove barriers for students and content authors alike.
Our goal is to meet or exceed the Revised 508 Standards and WCAG 2.1 AA because accessibility isn’t a checkbox, it’s a core part of what it means to build education that truly belongs to everyone. Accessibility conformance documentation is already available, and we encourage anyone who encounters an accessibility concern to report it directly to us. We also provide a full suite of authoring tools to help content creators build with accessibility in mind from the start.

Be the change you want to see: Applications of Seamless learning. Research projects from the International Research Network for Innovative Sustainable and Seamless Education (IRN-ISSE)
2026-03-04 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Stockholm) | Lund, Sweden, Lund, Sweden
The International Research Network for Innovative Sustainable and Seamless Education (IRN-ISSE) is a global research partnership that began at mLearn 2018 at Concordia University in Chicago. The vision of IRN-ISSE is to build an international community of practice, inviting researchers and specialists to collaborate for the greater good, with a specific focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The mission of IRN-ISSE is to study, support, inform, share, and implement research globally to improve access to and quality of education worldwide. The goal is to stand together and learn with and from each other, striving to remain at the forefront of innovative, sustainable, and seamless educational practice
The community has a global reach, including Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and India. The partnership is working on several initiatives, such as:

The Seamless Learning Experience Design Model, which identifies five themes relevant to designing a seamless learning experience: 1) seamless learning concepts, 2) positive concepts, 3) practical concepts, 4) human concepts, and 5) design concepts. Based on these five concepts, a Seamless Learning Experience Design (SLED) framework was developed.
Research and ongoing work include the “Be the change to see the change” (this was the theme for interviews and larger podcasts) initiative, and on-demand, driven learning.

What you can expect:
During this webinar, you will meet some of the partners in IRN-ISSE. You will hear about their research and ongoing initiatives. You will have the opportunity to discuss with the team and the audience the interesting changes in education, including those brought about by the AI era. You will also learn how you can become involved in the IRN-ISSE partnership.

A Community Like No Other: LibreTexts Academy and LibreNet Consortium
2026-03-05 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Davis, United States, Davis, CA, United States
The LibreTexts Academy is the professional development hub of the LibreVerse, designed for faculty who are serious about open education but don’t have unlimited time to figure it all out alone. Whether you’re adopting an existing open textbook for the first time, or building a fully custom course from the ground up, the Academy meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
Monthly webinars, twice-weekly office hours, and self-paced training modules cover everything from getting started with ADAPT to remixing content to making your materials accessible. For those ready to go deeper, cohort programs, in-person workshops, and instructor certifications let you build real expertise and walk away with credentials to show for it.
The goal is simple: spend less time troubleshooting and more time teaching. Your students pay less. Your course feels like yours.
The LibreNet Consortium is a community of passionate educators dedicated to growing sustainable open education initiatives at their institutions. No matter where you are in your journey to bring down the cost of education, and create more equitable pathways for your students, the LibreNet Consortium provides the tools you need to ensure your efforts are sustainable for the road ahead.
Whether you connect with us through Academy or the LibreNet (or both!), you will join a community that’s been doing this work — together — for decades.

The Future is Now: LibreTexts and AI
2026-03-06 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Davis, United States, Davis, CA, United States
The intersection of Open Educational Resources (OER) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still emerging, but momentum is growing rapidly. An important step forward came last year with the launch of the AI Co-Author tool, designed to support OER development and improve accessibility remediation. Building on this progress, the LibreTexts development team has introduced a comprehensive AI Initiative to expand and deepen AI integration across the LibreVerse ecosystem.
This presentation reviews the current state of AI development within LibreVerse, highlighting tools already underway and early implementation efforts. It outlines short-term goals focused on pilot programs, platform integration, and faculty support, as well as a long-term vision for a scalable, interoperable, and equity-centered AI infrastructure that advances teaching and learning nationwide.
Planned innovations include context-aware AI tutors embedded in digital textbooks; automated generation and evaluation of formative homework; AI-supported writing and research tools; and AI-guided coding and data science assistance within Jupyter environments. By embedding adaptive tutoring and personalized learning support throughout LibreVerse, the initiative aims to reduce equity gaps and broaden access to high-quality resources. Instructors will gain AI-assisted tools for content creation, grading, analytics, and pedagogical insight, supported by professional development. Grounded in LibreTexts’ OER framework, the initiative emphasizes transparency, interoperability, and evidence-based evaluation to ensure responsible and effective AI integration in open education.
