Our inaugural (members only) OA101 course ran for 4 weeks from 23 May, 2022. The next course will run from 6 March 2023. Sign up here.
The course is a member benefit and is therefore free for anyone at an Open Access Australasia member institution to attend.
It is targeted at professional staff who want to know more about the basics of Open Access.
It is designed to be easy to fit in with other work commitments.
The course is all online and runs for 4 weeks, one module per week.
Each module takes approximately 1-2 hours and can be done in participants’ own time.
The interactive content will be live on the Open Access Australasia website behind a login which will be sent to participants ahead of the course starting.
Four experienced open access practitioners participating as course tutors will run a discussion forum on Slack for the duration of the course.
