Conferences and Workshops (example of one type of a OER Matters submission)

Conferences and Workshops is one example of an OER Matters topic. Other topics can be browsed from the OER Matters page. On the left side navigation, click on the topic you would like to browse (e.g., news, articles and reports, etc.)

By either conducting a quick search at OER Commons or browsing through the various OER collections, you will see that there is a large variety of teaching and learning materials available.

Oer stories from around the world

Two Kenyan teachers collaborate and share their materials at OER Commons.

Your experience using open and freely shared course-related materials is valuable in the reuse and evolution of the materials. Tell us your story ; how you’ve used these materials and how their use has impacted how you teach or learn.

There are several examples of course-related materials listed on the OER Categories page . Visit this page for ideas of the types of materials you can share with the OER Commons community. When you are ready to submit your own materials, here’s how to do it:

  • Go to OER Commons . You must be logged in to do this activity.
  • Click on the OER Matters link on the top of the page.
  • Click on the link Submit your Course Materials.

You can also click this link“ Submit Course-Related Materials ”to directly access this form.

Before submitting materials, you are asked to read, understand, and agree to the OER Commons Conditions of Use . In the module“ OER Licensing and Conditions of Use ,”we talk in depth about how licensing works in OER Commons.

A small red box next to a field name indicates that it is mandatory field to complete. These mandatory fields must be completed for a successful submission. The information you provide in these fields gives descriptive information about the item you are submitting. This information is used to support the identification, description, and location of the item. It also provides the needed information for others to find your materials when using the search engine.

Most of the fields on the submission form are self-explanatory; e.g., title, author, abstract, etc. I’ll explain the fields that I anticipate where you might have questions.

URL Pointer : Provide the web address where your materials are stored. OER Commons does not store your materials . The URL you provide gives the direct link to where the materials are located.

New keywords : These are tags you create. Tags are author-created keywords. For more on tags, see the“ Tagging, Rating, and Reviewing OER Materials ”module. You can either create a new keyword (tag) or one that is provided using the existing keyword list.
