Achieving the Dream OER Degree Initiative Licensing Guidelines Chart – a resource developed for grantees to assist them in evaluating educational resources. It’s purpose was to help determine if the resource was eligible for inclusion in the OER Degree Initiative Course.

Using the chart above, I evaluated 25 short stories for Tina’s ENGL 1302 course to vet some initial eligibility for use in her course. My results and annotations can be found here: https://goo.gl/zvgLFd
