=Open Source Educational Materials﻿=

====I am presently researching Open Source Educational materials (known on the web as Open Educational Resources [OER] or Open CourseWare [OCW]). These are electronic textbooks and other curricular material, or in some cases complete courses, that are freely accesible to the public. There is no charge for their use, and the only copyright restrictions are that when reproducing these materials, the original authors be credited. They can be downloaded in editable format, so that a teacher can use certain chapters, add individualized material, even mix and match chapters from various texts (when making changes like these, those changes from the original author's work should also be noted).==== ====For ease of access and to generate interest, I have downloaded a few representative examples to NEKLS google docs. These are in PDF format, meaning they cannot be edited, However, they can also be downloaded in editable format from their original source.==== ====I am creating a links page with all the OER resources I have investigated so far. Please let me know of other comparable resources you think I should look at. Please also let me know if you discover any problems with these links or with the material presented on them.====
