Faculty Resources Brought to you by librarian Emily Campbell Why use OER? · OER are generally free or low-cost; students may have access to their course materials from the first day of class. · Open resources can be adapted to fit your class’ needs; add, remove or revise content as needed. · Students retain access to their course materials after their class is finished. · Take a look at this Faculty Showcase for examples of successful OER adoptions. How do I know if a resource is "open"? Look for a Creative Commons attribution somewhere on the work to determine how it’s been licensed. See the Creative Commons website for examples of what this looks like. For more information about OER, visit the COS Library OER Research Guide, or email your library liaison!
