Create Open Educational Resoruces (OER)

You might be interested in creating your own open educational resources (OER) if the content you need doesn't already exist. OER you create can take the form of lesson plans, syllabi, videos, websites, guides, textbooks, and more.

Step 1:

Develop educational resources
Make your resource as accessible as possible
Check permissions

Step 2: Select a Creative Commons licence to make it an OER
Step 3: Clearly add licensing details

To help others know how to cite you (the copyright author and/or owner) and how they can use the OER, clearly add these details to your OER.

Step 4: Share Your OER

share your OER via your university’s OER collections or your national OER repository, or you can choose to share via a global OER
