Open Educational Resources and Course Materials
Faculty looking to explore the wide range of Open Educational Resources may find the following OER collections helpful:
- Open Textbook Library, a large list of openly-licensed textbooks compiled by the University of Minnesota's Center for Open Education
- Openly Available Sources Integrated Search (OASIS), developed by SUNY Geneseo, searches materials across 100+ OER sites
- OER Commons global OER initiative searches 50,000+ curated, high-quality OERs
- OpenStax, a part of Rice University, publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed, OER textbooks for most lower-division course areas
Below are also two Tennessee-specific OER resources:
- Affordable Learning Tennessee, developed as a result of a spring 2020 One UT Collaboration and Innovation Grant.
- TN Open Education OER Commons Hub provides a place for faculty across the state to build and share resources.
