Modular OER Content Types
The content you can create can be small, medium, or long form.
Each modular content type can also be nested within a larger content type.
There are currently 3 content types available for more on the way:
Remix and adapt resources
Each resource type can easily be remixed with a click of a button.
Remixed resources maintain a reference to the original work and author.
Members can share their adaptations of your resources with you.
Promote your work and Portfolio
Members can share their story, achievements, and highlights to inspire their fellow educators and designers.
Easily find and connect with experts on different subjects.
Idea & knowledge exchange
Easily find and collect OER created by others. There are plenty of opportunities to engage in discussions or other interactions that can lead to a more sharing ecosystem.
Open & Collaborative workspaces
A workspace provides a central location for members to join forces and tackle instructional needs together.
You can also create InClass Workspaces and use our platform to engage your students in active learning OER activities.
