- 3.1: Evaluating OERs
- When evaluating Open Educational Resources (OERs) for use in a course, educators should consider several factors to ensure that the selected materials meet the educational needs of their students. The biggest draw to OER is cost savings to students, but beyond that a faculty needs to evaluate other factors to ensure the resource is of a quality that can be maintained.
- 3.2: Combining Licenses When Adapting
- When adapting a Creative Commons (CCP) work to create a new work of your own, you may use resources that have different types of CC licenses. Combining works with different CC licenses can sometimes be tricky.
- 3.3: Adapting and Adopting an OER
- Why Adapt OER? There are several reasons you may want to adapt or curate a resource. Perhaps existing OER do not have all the content you would like to include in your course. Or there may not be any cohesive OER for your course but there may be available materials you can pick and choose from to build the perfect resource for your class.
