When working with content online, not everything needs to be created by the educator. Open educational resources (OERs) are open licensed content that can be freely adopted and used in your courses. These two interview videos with open education pioneer, David Wiley, detail how to explore, find, and use these resources. You’ll likely be surprised how many resources already exist to support your teaching and pivot to online! These videos are from an earlier course that we ran with David.
