Hosting OER

OpenALG is our OER repository. All grant materials, including created materials, final reports, and syllabi, will be hosted here on completion of the grant. Want to make something fully interactive like Programming Fundamentals or Open Technical Communication? Get in touch with us! We can give you a crash course in Manifold formatting.

Materials from grants all the way back to Round One are stored here, and the Digital Commons platform allows for the metadata for all OER entries to be much more discoverable. For new materials, we link from ALG Commons to the corresponding OpenALG grant materials where they're hosted. Take a look at the Quantitative Reasoning Workbook for an example of this interlinking.

The UNG Press can provide services including copyright clearance and licensing, double blind peer review, peer review author revisions, copyediting, production and design, print copies, and instructor resources at varying costs which you can use grant funding for. Check out the recently published Resonances: Engaging Music in its Cultural Context for an example of the work UNG Press can do!

All institutions have a LibGuides subscription through GALILEO. Get in touch with your Library Champion to learn how they can help you host your materials in a LibGuide like what you see in American History I. 

At some institutions, you can request an empty website on your institutional server. A website with options for navigation is a great place to host your OER materials, like what you see in Psychology Science.

• The University of Georgia has a Pressbooks subscription where some teams publish their work such as Introduction to Golf. 

• Kennesaw State University has a site license for SoftChalk Cloud, where some teams publish their work, such as Open Comp-Owl-Sition.

• Most institutions have access to Microsoft OneDrive, where you can create shareable links for documents, such as Introduction to Geography Curated Materials.
