Open Educational Resources

Overview

Open Educational Resources (OER) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used by educators and students. Anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share these materials.

Textbooks, Streaming Videos, Podcasts, Curriculum Maps

… and any other materials that have been designed for use in teaching and learning!

Finding OERs

• Use the Mason OER Metafinder (MOM)
• Your Subject Specialist Librarian can work with you to identify resources that fit the needs of your course.

Creating OERs

• Center for Instructional Technology and Training (CITT)
• PressBooks

If you have other ideas for OERs, contact CTE with your proposed project.
