What Are Open Educational Resources?

Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that are created with the intention of being freely available to users anywhere.

This includes:

  • Textbooks

  • Readings

  • Courses

  • Journals

  • Case Studies

  • Software

  • Databases     

                        ... and much more!                 

Please browse this guide for more information on resources, or visit the BC Campus website.     

OASIS (megasearch tool) Openly Available Sources Integrated Search (OASIS)

The news release states that OASIS offers users worldwide the ability to search a range of OER materials including textbooks, courses and corresponding materials, interactive simulations, public domain books, audiobooks, modules, open access books, videos and podcasts on a variety of topics — from anthropology to zoology. OASIS also is the only tool that allows users to limit searches by creative commons licenses or by faculty review.
