What to do next

We hope this book has been a helpful introduction to OER and to how you might engage Pressbooks in your work adapting, adopting, or creating OER.  At the same time, this book has served as an example of how open educational resources may be adopted, adapted, and created because it was built in the Pressbooks platform from a cloned OER book created for a different college system and then customized for our particular campus. Its open license means it is available for further revising, remixing, reusing, retaining, and redistributing.  (See the What is OER chapter in Part 1 for a reminder of the 5 R’s of OER, and review the licenses.)

Please note:

1. This book is also available any time and may even reflect updates, so bookmark the URL and check in to see as chapters evolve.

3. To see what we hope will be a growing list of other examples of OER, look in the Cascadia College Pressbooks, the OpenWA, or PressbooksEDU catalogs.
