Open Educational Resources and Course Materials

A number of UT faculty utilize Open Educational Resources (OER) in their classroom (see list here). Resources created by UT faculty will be added here as they are submitted.

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.
