Tech Tip Tuesday: OER Commons and Open Education

10/11/2016

There is a movement in education right now focused on open educational resources (OER).  OER are teaching and learning materials that educators can use and reuse at no cost and without needing to ask permission.  OER are authored or created by an organization or individuals that retain few (if any) ownership rights.  These materials can be downloaded and used with students or shared with colleagues.  In many cases, you can also modify the materials for your own uses and re-post for others to use.  The idea behind the OER movement is tied to the basic human right to quality education access.  
Picture
OER Commons is a great resource to discover OER materials, create materials to share with other educators, and connect with educators interested in OER resources.  You can use the website to search for ready-made materials or use their module builder to create your own learning modules that you can build with OER materials.  Use the links below to start your OER exploration.
