We help faculty and staff with Open Educational Resources (OERs) by offering:

  • One-on-one or small group introductory and ongoing project consultations

We also help with:

  • Identifying and evaluating appropriate OER textbooks 
  • Identifying appropriate publishing platforms for adapting and creating OER 
  • Interpreting and adopting Creative Commons licenses 
  • Depositing OER works in appropriate repositories
