This is a really great tutorial on the different types of open educational and has several really useful resources linked throughout it. It does a really good job of describing the differences between creative commons licenses and types of open educational resources.
- MIT OCW (Open Courseware)
- Collection of extremely well made free and openly licensed post-secondary courses.
- Particularly useful for courses in STEM, but has courses in a large range of fields
- VERY large variety of courses at undergraduate and graduate levels
- Coursera
- Large collection of MOOCs (Massive open online courses)
- Can often reward students with certificates and documentation upon finishing a course
- BC Campus Open Textbook Repository
- Really accessible layout. Subjects are easy to find and sort by
- Free textbooks are a phenomenal way of having textbooks to use as resources without requiring students or schools to spend large sums of money
- Includes textbooks for trades which is fantastic. The trades often get left out of online resources.
- Relatively new but really promising. Looking forwards to seeing how its library grows
- CC Search
- Really great option for searching for resources licensed under creative commons
- Features a large range of search engines for various forms of media
- Don’t need to swap between search engines and set up filters for content that is licensed to be used
- OER Commons
- Large resource of educational materials that are openly licensed
- ShareEdBC
- Content is specifically designed for the new BC curriculum
- Can share resources with other teachers, creates a lot of potential for collective collaboration
