Open Educational Resources (OERs): Creating OER

This guide is designed to help Minnesota State University, Mankato faculty find, create, evaluate, and incorporate Open Educational Resources in their courses.

Choosing and Applying a License

Many platforms (such as Pressbooks, YoutubeFlickr) allow creators to select and automatically apply CC Licenses. Look for a "License" or "Copyright" field when uploading content.

Accessibility

Open Educational Resources are held to the same accessibility standards as all digital content created and used by the University. When creating or adapting OER, prioritizing accessibility at all stages of the process creates the greatest benefit for all learners.
