- 2.1: OER Collections
- So, how can we find collections of OERs? These resources are not just textbooks. Through Creative Commons licensing, any resource made with the intent to be used within education can be designated as an OER, including textbooks, lecture notes, quizzes, videos, and other educational materials that are available for anyone to use, adapt, and share.
- 2.2: Choosing a License
- Two things to remember: TASL and CC. The Creative Commons License Chooser is a helpful tool that walks users through the process of defining the terms under which their works can be shared, used, and remixed.
- 2.3: Strategies for Finding OER
- From known what kind of keywords to use, to where to start looking for OERs, knowing a few search strategies will make for more effective searching. Watch the following short video and then review the search tips below so you can use them as you search for resources for your class.
- 2.4: Strategies and Keeping Track of OERs
- A course organization spreadsheet can help you organize and keep track of the resources for your course. The spreadsheet has room for all the information you will need to organize your course. The more completely you fill it out, the easier it will be when you are ready to make a single resource or integrate them into your online course.
