About VIVA OER Office Hours

OER office hours is a dedicated space where folks from around the consortium can drop in to ask questions about VIVA-OER related things and/or have some time/space to work on OER projects. We know sometimes questions come up and it’s easier to find a time to chat and/or easy to forget. While you’re of course still welcome to schedule one-on-one meetings with us, we want to provide this informal opportunity for chats and discussions. 

VIVA OER Office Hours will typically occur the last Friday of every month, from 10am-noon. 

We can answer questions about: 

• VIVA Grants (e.g. open RFPs, expectations, grant program stats)
• VIVA Publishing support (e.g. platforms and publishing service support)
• Open Licensing (e.g. Creative Commons licensing)
• VIVA Open and Affordable Programming (e.g. COALA, OEN membership or workshops)

If there are other OER questions or discussions you’d like to have, feel free to stop by and we’ll try to help. We also invite VIVA Open Grantees or others working on adopting, customizing, or writing an OER to take advantage of these sessions to block off dedicated working/writing time. We can be your accountability partner and/or answer questions as you work.

We are planning on keeping the zoom room open the full two hours, regardless of attendance, so feel free to join whenever during the two hoursworks best for your schedule.
