Open Educational Resources

Adapted from: “Faculty are you ready to free the textbook?" [PDF]

Collaborate with Colleagues

• Instructors, Librarians, Online Teaching and Learning Office, Distance Learning

Search Recognized Repositories

• Don't reinvent the wheel. Explore what already exists.

Investigate Licensing and Accessibility

• Can you use it? Are you willing to share?

• Is it accessible? Does it meet WCAG 2.0, etc.?

Determine Evaluation Criteria

• What standards are used for your current textbooks, materials, etc.?

• Is there a checklist that already exists? If not, should there be?

• Who has the final authority to decide if it's used?
