Nebraska's statewide platform for open educational resources (OER) where educators collaborate to discover, create and share openly licensed content

 

 

Nebraska OER Vision and Collaboration

The vision for Nebraska Open Educational Resources (OER) is to promote statewide OER awareness, provide access to valuable resources, and offer ongoing support and training for educators. This initiative represents a collaborative effort among the Nebraska Department of Education, Educational Service Units, school districts, and educators. Together, the goal is to curate and create high-quality open educational resources that align with Nebraska’s curriculum standards, enhancing teaching and learning opportunities across the state.

    Import OER from Google Docs

    Open Author offers the option to create and share resources by importing from Google Docs. We recommend using the Google Doc Import feature rather than adding a URL link to your Google Doc within an Open Author resource for a few different reasons: 

    • This feature makes it easy for educators to share resources they've built in Google Docs in a remixable format, with the added value of Open Author's powerful version tracking.
    • You needn't worry about the permissions associated with your Google Doc
    • You are on your way to becoming an OER Super Star by contributing your truly shareable and remixable resource!
