OER Commons is the first comprehensive open learning network where
teachers and professors (from pre-K to graduate school) can access
their colleagues' course materials, share their own, and collaborate on
affecting today's classrooms. It uses Web 2.0 features (tags, ratings,
comments, reviews, and social networking) to create an online
experience that engages educators in sharing their best teaching and
learning practices. The emergence of OER signals the growing trend
toward openness for teaching and learning materials.The mission of OER
Commons is to expand educational opportunities by increasing access to
high-quality Open Educational Resources (OER), and facilitating the
creation, use, and re-use of OER, for instructors, students, and self-
learners.
