Authoring Open Textbooks

OER Commons

OER Commons is a collaborative platform for creating, storing, browsing, and curating OER Collections for higher education and K-12 instructors.

Because the University of Missouri has access to OER Commons through our statewide academic library consortium, MOBIUS, the University of Missouri System has decided to use this platform as a referatory for all UM-instructor-created OER content.

If you are an instructor who wants to openly share your course materials, please contact Steven Pryor to have your OER added to the MU Group on the OER Commons.
