Domain specific OER Repositories
Working with your domain specialist, we recommend exploring subsets of a selection of repositories or domain specific ones. Please let us know when you are looking for specific material or have suggestions to add to the lists.
Just as you are supposed to do when using licensed material, you ought to cite the source or author of the OER you use. This in case your material is being checked on unauthorised use of copyright protected material (e.g. in Canvas or a video you publish), but also to give credits to the original creator. This is especially a topic in the context of recognising and rewarding educational activities like creating educational material.
