OER at Georgian

Thinking of Adopting or Adapting an existing resource?

The sheer number of OER resources available can be a bit overwhelming.  You'll need to:

• locate relevant resources
• assess how they might work for your purposes
• determine if you prefer to adopt, adapt, or create an entirely new resource

The first step is to review existing OERs to see what's available!

The OER librarian is available to help you identify resources! Please don't hesitate to reach out - we can help generate starting points and we are happy to discuss options with you! Want to have a look on your own? Review the following resources for suggestions...
