Where to find OERs
There are many different repositories and websites where you can easily find open education resources.
Open Repositories
Open repositories allow anyone to upload and download learning resources, often in multiple formats, for reuse and remixing. Theses repositories provide a wide variety of open educational resources, which are often accompanied by information about educational levels, aims and objective, and how resources can be used.
Specialised Content Sites
Additionally there are many generic online services that host specific media formats. Some you may be familiar with include Flickr, Soundcloud, and YouTube. Most of these sites provide advanced search functionality to enable you to find Creative Commons licensed resources that can be used in education.
