Connect with educators, librarians and innovators from across the region for Delaware’s first-ever Open and Affordable Learning Symposium — a day dedicated to sharing ideas, building connections and exploring how open educational resources (OER) can transform teaching and expand access for every student.

This dynamic, in-person event will bring together educators, librarians, instructional designers and advocates who are passionate about making learning more accessible, equitable and affordable.

Through interactive sessions, engaging discussions and community connections, participants will explore the power and potential of open educational resources (OER) — teaching and learning materials that are free to use, adapt, and share.

Digital Citizenship & Education Symposium

Saturday, January 31 | 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Clayton Hall, Conference Room

A day-long event for Delaware schoolteachers and administrators focused on the Delaware Digital Citizenship Education Act of 2022. Sponsored by then State Senator Sarah McBride, the law requires Delaware K-12 schools to provide age-appropriate content on online safety, digital citizenship, and information literacy. Presenters from UD and the Department of Education will share resources and strategies to help educators fulfill the requirements of the law.

Teachers receive 6 professional development hours for their participation, and lunch is provided.
