We’d love to hear any more advice or helpful guidance around OERs, so please do share in the comments! 📣

Choose a License Want to license your work with Creative Commons, but not sure where to start, or which license is right for you? Use our license chooser!

🤲 When sharing an OER you have created, make sure you are assigning the most appropriate CC licence to your work. Creative Commons’ website includes a helpful tool to help you choose: creativecommons.org/choose/

📝 When creating an OER, ensure you have permission to use any third-party content that you’re incorporating. If you don’t have permission, you’ll need to seek permission or find an alternative. The UK Copyright Service has advice on obtaining permissions: copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p1...

About CC Licenses - Creative Commons Creative Commons licenses give everyone from individual creators to large institutions a standardized way to grant the public permission to use their creative work under copyright law. From the reuser...

🔎When using an OER, check the usage terms. OERs will have a creative commons licence, and different elements of the licence grant various levels of permission for reuse. Find out more about the different licences from Creative Commons @creativecommons.bsky.social creativecommons.org/share-your-w...

💡How familiar are you with Open Educational Resources (OERs)?💡

We’re big fans, as OERs are licensed to allow others to repurpose and/or reuse openly available learning resources in their own teaching.

Some top tips and resources we’d recommend when creating or repurposing OERs are below ⬇️
