This course was developed to help transform course material to be more effective and affordable. Through the OER Adopt course, you’ll develop an online community where you can receive help with technical, logistical, copyright/licensing, or pedagogical issues that arise as you find and create course materials. We envision that this site will provide you with a resource base to draw on while you’re creating or adapting your course materials to use Open Educational Resources and/or library licensed resources.
