TAGSOpenEd Week 2026
OpenEd Week is almost here again (March 2-6, 2026). This year events hosted through the end of April will be included on the official OpenEd Week calendar hosted By OEGlobal (https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/). Join the LibreTexts team next week as we get back to basics:
March 2, 11-12 pm PST: Intro to the LibreTexts LibreVerse
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.
March 3, 10:30- 11:30 am PST: Open to All: Accessibility in the LibreVerse
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.
March 4, 11- 12 pm PST: LibreTexts ADAPT: Homework Reimagined
ADAPT, LibreTexts’ open homework and assessment platform, is designed to do exactly that. Join our Founder and Executive Director, Delmar Larsen, for a guided tour of everything ADAPT has to offer:
- 240,000+ openly licensed questions
- Adaptive Learning Trees and personalized learning models
- Built-in analytics and an Early Warning System powered by predictive analytics
- Seamless LMS integration with Canvas and Blackboard
- Mobile clicker functionality right in your classroom
- Support for WebWork, IMathAS, H5P, and Native QTI
ADAPT is built to be more powerful than traditional publisher platforms and more affordable. Because the cost of a homework platform should never be a barrier to student success.
This is open education in action. Come see what it looks like.
March 4, 12-1 pm PST: ADAPT and AI: An Instructor's Success Story
This session demonstrates practical ways to build and deploy homework in LibreTexts ADAPT using WeBWorK algorithmic problems.
WeBWorK uses a complex Perl-based language called PG, and writing questions in PG can be challenging. Most PG examples online focus on math, physics, and engineering. As a life science professor, I want to bridge that gap by bringing algorithmic biology problems, which are often more descriptive than numerical, into LibreTexts ADAPT using WeBWorK.
In this session, I will show new instructors how to use AI to turn a conceptual homework idea into a fully functional WeBWorK problem, without needing to know how to code. The talk will demonstrate how large language model agents such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex can produce working WeBWorK problems when given solid documentation and required to check output using a local renderer.
A brief course case study will show how a problem concept can become a working WeBWorK assignment through an iterative workflow.
March 5, 12-1 pm PST: A Community Like No Other: LibreTexts Academy and LibreNet Consortium
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.
March 6, 11:30-12:30 pm PST: The Future is Now: LibreTexts and AI
AI and open education are converging, and LibreTexts is helping lead the way. Building on the launch of our AI Co-Author tool, the LibreTexts development team has introduced a comprehensive AI Initiative designed to embed intelligent, equity-centered tools throughout the LibreVerse ecosystem: context-aware tutors inside digital textbooks, automated homework generation, AI-assisted writing and research tools, and coding support within Jupyter environments. The goal is straightforward: reduce equity gaps, give instructors better tools for content creation and analytics, and make high-quality personalized learning available to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Grounded in LibreTexts' commitment to transparency and open education, this initiative is built to scale responsibly and work for every kind of learner.
