10 OER resources every educator should know about - Meris Stansbury, eCampus News

As textbook prices soar, tuition skyrockets, and educators are more pressured than ever to provide innovative courses and lectures packed with multimedia and current materials, the open education movement and its open education resources (OERs) have never been more critical for success than now. What began in the ‘90s has now evolved into massive national, state, and university repositories that can be accessed by anyone, anytime…and the best part is, almost all OERs are free. What makes these current repositories worth investing time, however, is that thanks to decades of feedback, many are vetted by educators and are organized into highly-accessible repositories. Many of these OER resources also provide step-by-step guides and OER tools to make multimedia, such as videos and tutorials. http://www.ecampusnews.com/top-news/oer-resources-educator-555/
