Open Educational Resource (OER) Repositories and Links

A. North American/International OER Repositories ● Open Library: Database of complete, open that are available in a portable file format (at minimum). Many textbooks are peer reviewed. The single format and careful curation make this a simple search tool to use, though by the same token a lot of open content is not represented here. ● OER Commons: A large repository of open educational resources. Discovery is enhanced by detailed metadata and a clean interface with multiple search limiters. OER Commons also improves discovery by harvesting resources from institutional repositories. Barriers to discovery include the mix of K-12 and post-secondary materials, the lack of a "peer-reviewed" search facet, a proliferation of duplicate records, and inconsistent metadata. ● BC Campus: Curated library of openly licensed, peer-reviewed materials that support high- enrollment transfer and CTE courses taught in British Columbia. Some content would need to be modified (using the permissions of the open license) in order to be used in a US setting. There is some overlap with the Open Textbook Library. ● Longer list of OER repositories: https://www.library.umass.edu/services/teaching-and- learning/oer/oer-repositories
