Open Educationa Resources The Orange Grove Licensing - Creative Commons Orange Grove Texts Plus (OGT+) OER and Open Textbook Legislation

Sharing is the foundation of education and OER— Educational materials produced by one party that are licensed to be used freely and at no cost by others. Curriculum content, assignments, textbooks... Used on all levels of education Can dramatically reduce cost of teaching & learning

OER Revise: adapt and modify Reuse: use the original or your new version Remix: combine the OER with other OER Redistribute: make copies and share original OER or new version

Open textbooks 1. …freely available through an open license that permits users to: read, download, copy, distribute, self-print, search, or link to the full texts without financial, legal or technical barriers. 2. In addition, students may often be able to order a commercially bound print-on-demand copy at a modest cost. 3. Freely accessible digital textbooks that can be read online, downloaded, and self-printed at no or low cost. Students focused on cost. What’s missing?

Millions being spent by states on textbooks and instructional content. States are in the process of updating their textbooks and instructional content to align with the Common Core Standards.
