The resources below were compiled by the ASCCC OER Initiative and are intended to provide a general overview of the use of OER.

ASCCC OERI Self-Paced Courses - "The ASCCC OERI has developed two self-paced courses to prepare faculty who are planning to develop/curate OER. Please note that Accessibility Basics provides an overview of accessibility intended for all faculty – it is not limited to accessibility in the context of OER."
Butte College offers a course titled "Introduction to Open Educational Resources" in Canvas. Although originally designed to be a seminar-online hybrid, the course is now available as a self-paced online course.
Lumen Learning's Adopting Open Educational Resources in the Classroom "provides faculty with an introduction to the laws that influence the use, re-use, and distribution of content they may want to use in a course. Activities include finding openly licensed content for use in a class and publishing openly licensed works created by faculty. At the end of the course, students will have openly licensed content that will be ready for use in a course."
Open Washington's "How to Use Open Educational Resources". is a self-paced workshop that covers licensing, finding OER, accessibility, and more.
