Open Education Alberta: OER Publishing Service

This starter kit has been created to provide instructors with an introduction to the use and creation of open educational resources (OER). The text is broken into six sections: What is OER?, Copyright & Licensing, Finding OER, Using OER at SAIT, 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 Open Education.

The BCcampus Open Education Adaptation Guide is a practical guide about how to customize — or adapt — an open textbook so that it better fits your needs in the classroom and elsewhere. This guide defines the term adaptation and discusses reasons for revising a book, why this is possible with an open textbook, and the challenges involved.
