Open Educational Resources

A guide to Open Educational Resources (OER) and services.

Discipline-Specific OER

Subject-specific repositories make it easy to find OER relevant to your discipline. This page presents a sample of discipline-specific OER collections, textbooks, and other items. Our selection is by no means exhaustive and is constantly growing. If you cannot find relevant materials in your discipline, try using general OER repositories like OER Commons, Merlot, or OpenStax CNX to broaden your search.
