This guide was created by Justin Kani, now at Weber State University, email: justinkani@weber.edu.
This guide is based on an original from San Jose State University,
Additional material is taken from Indian River State College,
The guide is currently maintained by Bill Orme, IUPUI, email:: orme@iupui.edu
Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible online teaching and learning materials. They can be videos, textbooks, quizzes, learning modules and more. This guide collects the best-of-the-best OER and organizes them by college and department.
This guide is intended to introduce faculty and librarians to Open Educational Resources. It points toward resources that either provide or promote the use of Open Educational Resources.
If you are familiar with a resource that is not listed here, please email Bill Orme (orme@iupui.edu), University Library's OER liaison, to have it added to this guide.
Specifically, Open Educational Resources (OER) are any copyrightable work (or in the public domain) that is licensed in a manner that provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities:
Retain - the right to make, own, and control copies of the content (e.g., download, duplicate, store, and manage)
Reuse - the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a video)
Revise - the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language)
Remix - the right to combine the original or revised content with other material to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup)
Redistribute - the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend) be retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute.
The library has an extensive collection of ebooks on a variety of topics. To find what is available, enter your subject in the library catalog followed by "ebooks." For example: "supply chain management" ebooks. Putting quotes around your topic area means the catalog will search on the phrase ("supply chain management") rather than each word separately.
Almost all of the library's ebooks are multiuser. This means that your whole class could access the book simultaneously and for free!
