Publishing OERs

For a work to be considered an OER, it is necessary to distribute it online and permit users to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the resource. 

Publication: 

• Many platforms are available to distribute OERs online. For example, OER Commons and MERLOT II have free content builders for the creation of lessons, courses, and other types of OERs. 

Permissions:
