The OER Starter Kit
This starter kit was created to provide instructors with an introduction to the use and creation of OER. The text is broken into five sections: Getting Started, Copyright, Finding OER, Teaching with OER, and Creating OER. Although some chapters contain more advanced content, the starter kit is primarily intended for users who are entirely new to OER.

SUNY OER Community Courses
These SUNY OER Community Courses will introduce you to the fundamental principles and effective practices related to OER. You will have the opportunity to explore methods and approaches to finding, adopting, customizing, integrating, creating, publishing, and licensing OER.
