Description
Openly licensed educational resources (OER) ensure equity in accessing high-quality resources, while at the same time providing free, quality materials to expand a school library collection. Although they are certainly robust and useful, there is still confusion surrounding their definition, creation, and use. The Office of Instructional Technology and School Library Media at the Maryland State Department of Education share the experiences of the Maryland OER Project illustrate the process of establishing a statewide repository and the lessons learned in creating resources.
