Open Educational Resources

Learn more about Open Educational Resources (OER), and where to find them, how to adapt them, and how to create one of your own.

Finding OER

If you're interested in incorporating OER into your course, one of the first steps is to identify what materials are available to you. On this page, you'll find a number of OER repositories and some other OER guides from other institutions that can lead you to additional resources. 

Tips: 

  •  Investigate different repositories. Each one contains a different collection of books and subject areas. 
  •  Contact your subject librarian to ask for repository recommendations.
  •  Not all OER are textbooks. These repositories also contain activities, syllabi, lesson plans, labs, videos, and more. 
  •  Be mindful of licenses. Although most resources found in these repositories are going to be totally open, some may have more restrictive CC licenses that prevent derivative works or different licenses.
