Overview
This resource is an overview of the OER Commons platform and the OERizona network and Hub.
Exploring and Practicing
As faculty use, remix and share Open Educational Resources (OER), the opportunity exists to build collaborative and generative communities. Faculty often find that while they start by using OER for one reason, becoming part of a community helps them more effectively and creatively implement and engage with OER. Below are some reasons for being part of the larger OER Community:
- Finding larger numbers of OER
- Curate OER into collections based on topics and theme
- Evaluate OER to provide feedback and collaboration
- Remix OER to increase accessibility, localization, and customizations
- Create OER, especially in collaboration with diverse voices from your institution
OER Commons is a global, digital repository for sharing OER and collaborating with other faculty. OER Commons has a search engine that uses metadata and analytics to help users refine their OER searches. Also on the OER Commons platform are Hubs and Groups for collaborative discussions and resource sharing. Follow the below steps to join the OER Commons community:
