let’s generate OER
:: ask the question - how can I (and others) use this content?
: while searching for and generating content
: while interacting with colleagues
:: discover where to find openly licensed content
: open content repositories
: your colleagues & students
:: create resources using openly licensed content
: and other techniques for annotating content

• Build upon someone else’s OER
