Worth mentioning that if you have or know of OER that you're worried will be disappeared, please do reach out! While we have lots of records that point to things in other places, OER Commons also hosts plenty of OER locally, and there's always space for more.

🫵 YOU are invited to share an #OpenEducation asset, #oer, textbook, technology, platform, video series, course or ?? on @oercommons.bsky.social #oerworldmap and #OEGlobalConnect What Are You Sharing? #oeweek @oeglobal.bsky.social #oeglobal #worldevent #globalaction #globalcommunity 2/2

A reminder that if there are URL's of OER that you think may disappear due to various world events, go throw those URL's into @archive.org's Wayback Machine at web.archive.org Totally unrelated, remember that nearly everything published by the federal gov't is in the public domain.

One question that nobody's been asking us A LOT lately is, "sure I can browse oercommons.org for free, but what about if I want to add things to it?" Great question, thanks! *Anyone* with an account (it's free!) can submit resources to the collection, also at the low low cost of free. FOR EXAMPLE:

It’s more than just textbooks! Open ed all the things! #OER #OEP oercommons.org

Failing a clever first post, I'll just say that we have 90,002 open educational resources available in our collections, free for anyone to access, and I I think that's pretty neat!
