80 Open Education Resource (OER) Tools for Publishing and Development
Initiatives
Published on Tuesday 24th of April, 2007
Many Open Education Resources (OER) that have been introduced by
governments, universities, and individuals within the past few years.
OERs provide teaching and learning materials that are freely available
and offered online for anyone to use. Whether you're an instructor,
student, or self-learner, you have access to full courses, modules,
syllabi, lectures, assignments, quizzes, activities, games, simulations,
and tools to create these components.
While some OERs include OpenCourseWare (OCW) or other educational
materials, they may also offer the means to alter those courses through
editing, adding to those courses through publication, and the ability to
shape the tools that share those resources. Additionally, they may
maintain forums or other platforms where individuals can collaborate on
building educational tools and documentation and the reach for those
materials.
To that end, the list below — arranged in alphabetical order — includes
80 online resources that you can use to learn how to build or
participate in a collaborative educational effort that focuses on
publication and development of those materials. Although some choices
focus solely on publication, development, or tools used to accomplish
either effort, some provide multifaceted venues that offer communities a
space to collaborate on one or all of these efforts. Collaborators can
include institutions, colleges or universities, educators, students, or
the general public.
This list is not all-inclusive, as resources that offer limited
collaboration were excluded. Two examples include the University of
North Carolina's Open Courseware Lab and the Maricopa Learning Exchange,
as both facilities make their information public but collaboration is
limited to educators within those colleges. Other sites, like
LydiaLearn, were nonfunctional when this article was written, so
information about their offerings was unavailable for this project.
Finally, resources that focus solely on K-12 education were saved for
another time and place. The resources below focus solely on higher
education or encompass all levels of education.
01. http://www.aesharenet.com.au/ - AEShareNet - AEShareNet is a
