Nebraska's statewide platform for open educational resources (OER) where educators collaborate to discover, create and share openly licensed content

 

 

Why Nebraska OER?

The vision for the Nebraska OER is to provide statewide OER awareness, resources, support, and training. This is a statewide collaboration between the Nebraska Department of Education, Educational Service Units, school districts and educators with the goal to curate and create quality open educational resources that are aligned to Nebraska curriculum.

    Import OER from Google Docs

    Open Author offers the option to create and share resources by importing from Google Docs. We recommend using the Google Doc Import feature rather than adding a URL link to your Google Doc within an Open Author resource for a few different reasons: 

    • This feature makes it easy for educators to share resources they've built in Google Docs in a remixable format, with the added value of Open Author's powerful version tracking.
    • You needn't worry about the permissions associated with your Google Doc
    • You are on your way to becoming an OER Super Star by contributing your truly shareable and remixable resource!
