Open Educational Resources

A guide to open educational materials and resources, with a major focus on college textbooks.

Considerations

Content Does the OER cover the content you'd like your students to learn?
Accessible Is the content accessible, or will it be beyond your students' technological skills? Or...is it challenging enough?
License What does the license allow you to do?  Can you remix?  Reuse? Revise? Must you acknowledge the author?
Use Does only part of the content apply?   Could you combine one resource with another?
Peer-Reviewed Has the work gone through some sort of editorial or peer-reviewed process?
