Open Educational Resources (OER) are resources that faculty can Retain, Reuse, Remix, Revise, and Redistribute (5rs). They either pertain to the public domain or they are licensed to permit the 5rs. There are many opportunities to use OER in your classes.
If you are wondering how to attribute your sources using OER, here is a tool to help you.
Likewise, if you have original work you would like to open to the OER community, take a look at your licensing options here through Creative Commons.
Stay tuned for a Webinar on Open Pedagogy and OER*
