If you're adopting existing resources, like OpenStax books or Youtube videos, your platform choice may already be set. Remember that it's still your responsibility to ensure the materials are accessible! You might also want to consider whether or not you trust that the organization providing the content will continue to host it online, or if you want to work with the library to create an archived version (an option if the material is truly OER).

Those of you creating, customizing, or remixing resources can choose from many platforms and formats. You may select them because they work for your students, or you yourself are comfortable using them. Below are several platforms that are frequently used for OER at LBCC.

Pressbooks

Moodle

MS Office (Word/PowerPoint/Excel)

Google Suite (Docs/Slides/Forms/Sheets/Drive/Sites)

Other tools

The above is not an exhaustive list of options!

Whatever platforms or formats you choose, be sure you know the level of support that's available on campus, and talk to CFAR to ensure resources are accessible to all students.
