Welcome to the OER Commons Wiki, a shared workspace for individuals and groups of educators to develop and share open educational resources.

Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.
