Overview of the process<\/span><\/h2>\n

The process for developing an OER teaching resource generally includes five steps:\n<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Compose<\/b>: Combine the openly licensed materials you found in a meaningful way\n<\/li>\n
  3. Adapt<\/b>: Modify the materials to suit your own teaching context and create new content as required\n<\/li>\n
  4. License<\/b>: Re-license the derivative work, taking into account the re-mix compatibility of the open licensed materials included in the teaching resource\n<\/li>\n
  5. Share<\/b>: Distribute the resource for your learners, and upload to an open repository for the benefit of fellow teachers\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
