If you are new to OER, you may be wondering how to approach using them. The following is a step-by-step example of a common approach. Note the flexibility 鈥� you can use an existing OER (like an e-textbook) as-is, you can adapt (use certain pieces, add new content, re-write, etc.), or you can create your own from new or existing learning materials. Expand each section to learn more.

Step 1: FIND

• Start by looking for suitable resources that will contribute to your instructional objectives. Search .
• Consider your own materials that may be available offline, including lecture notes, handouts and other resources prepared previously.

Step 2: COMPOSE

• With your collection of resources at your disposal, start piecing them together to create a learning resource or set of resources to meet your instructional objectives and learning outcomes.
• This is a creative design process of building an educational resource from scratch and/or using components you have found.
• You may wish to engage the instructional design as you think through your learning objectives.
• As you compose, OER Committee can support your work.

Step 3: ADOPT & ADAPT

• You may decide to use the OER that you compile 鈥渁s is,鈥� by printing or downloading them, or sharing the links with your students.
• You may also decide to adapt the resources to local needs, or even revise them later based on feedback once implemented.
• Your adaptations may involve minor corrections and improvements, remixing or adding new components, or even completely reworking the resources.
• Ensure the OER are accessible. Resources to assist you with this process are available from OER Committee or Distance Education Coordinators

Step 4: USE

• Through open licensing, OER opens up possibilities for new, more collaborative teaching and learning practices鈥揵ecause the materials can be used, adapted and shared within and across learning communities.
• As you implement OER in your courses, take advantage of these possibilities. Pair up with a colleague on the implementation of OER, invite peer and student critique of the materials, or engage students as co-creators in OER-based assignments.
• , to get a sense of how OER are being used in other classes.

Step 5: SHARE

• Make your resources available for your peers and the open education community to find, and to begin the life cycle again.
• Add descriptors so that others can find and use the resource, and select the appropriate license for any new/adapted resources.
• Access online tools that can help you describe and share your resources. Try , and
• OER Committee can help you navigate licenses and options for sharing,
