Tutorial

From OER Commons

OER Commons would like to welcome you to the ever-expanding community of educators and life-long learners who are using and creating content in the open education movement. The objective of this hands-on course is to help you quickly start using and creating open educational resources (OER).

These modules can be completed in any order; work on the ones most relevant to your needs. Consider working through “Why OER?” first: it provides the framework you’ll need for the other modules.
