[edit] Introductory remarks

This list of links to OER initiatives, resources and tools was compiled following the first IIEP discussion forum on Open Educational Resources (24 October - 2 December 2005). It owes a considerable debt to Zaid Ali Alsagoff, who put together a first list of OER initiatives as an outcome of the forum.

[edit] How the resources are organized

Links have been placed in the following categories to give users some guidance on the types of OER initiatives and resources that are available to them:

• Portals and gateways
• Repositories
• Development and publishing initiatives
• Software and tools
• Teaching using OER
• Communities
• Writing on OER

Each link is accompanied by a short description of the site. Practical information, such as the number and type of resources available, licensing information and any usage restrictions, is also included in italics at the end of each entry.

The use of an "oer" tag in del.icio.us provides another useful way to organise and retrieve OER resources. The current list is at http://del.icio.us/tag/oer.

[edit] Contributing to the listing

The listing is not intended to be exhaustive. Rather it aims to give an idea of the range of OER initiatives and resources. That said, we hope that this listing will continue to grow, so please feel free to add links to sites and resources that you are aware of or come across on the web - or to update information about existing entries.

For step-by-step instructions to adding to and formatting the listings, go to the editing help page.
