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.
