Open Educational Resources can be found in aggregators and repositories. These OER collections go beyond an internet search. They have easy-to-use filters and advanced search capabilities, including filters to narrow your search on type, copyright, education level, etc. The OER in these repositories are often created by university educators and evaluated by other educators. They range from articles and textbooks to multimedia to entire courses.
Begin by reviewing the Free, Open, and Affordable Resources NIU LibGuide for suggestions on finding low or no-cost materials.
