The Ask OLLI blog is a resource for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute administrators to facilitate discussion on a variety of topics related to the creation and management of OLLI institutes nationwide.
Entries to the blog are called "posts" and can only be submitted by blog editors. Please contact Anne Cardale at the OLLI National Resource Center if you have an article suggestion for the AskOLLI editors.
Each post has a "comment" section where blog subscribers can submit their own remarks and responses to the post. A subscriber must be logged in to comment on a post. A login link is available at the bottom of the right-hand column, as well as at the end of each posting page.
Although the Ask OLLI blog is publicly viewable, commenting is closed to non-subscribers. For more information on Ask OLLI, or if you wish to create a subscriber account please contact Anne Cardale.
Sharon Sokoloff, OLLI at Brandeis University Asks OLLI:
If your OLLI has classes and/or otherwise meets in more than one space/place/building - what are the types of spaces you use in your community, e.g., churches, temples, senior centers, other? Please share all the venues you use, if there is a cost, and how it has worked for you program. Thanks.
Lori Bonderson, OLLI at the University of South Dakota Asks OLLI:
At the national conference I heard several OLLI reps say they do film series. Our OLLI Curriculum Committee has considered it but is wary of running afoul of the copyright/permission laws. For those that are showing films in a class or group setting, are there steps you take to meet the requirements of copyright/permission laws?
