The MERLOT system provides access to curated online learning and support materials and content creation tools, led by an international community of educators, learners and researchers.
Developed by the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Boulder, this OER contains hundreds of interactive simulations, interactive self-study modules, and videos on the topic of chemical and biological engineering.
Contains several open courses (with course materials) for undergraduate and graduate students. Information given includes a summary of the course, instructor(s), academic level, and features (ie. lecture notes, assignments, exams, etc.). Subject areas include business, energy, engineering, fine arts, health & medicine, humanities, mathematics, science, social science, society, and teaching & education.
This is for those who are just starting out with OERs. OER Commons is easy to use, contains newer content, and results can be filtered by material type. OER Commons contains “Open Author” which helps creators build OERs and publish them. Formats include media rich documents, lesson builders and module builders. It can also build microsites for organizations to index their own unique content library.
