How to find content
There are tabs on finding different types of content, both the content to start with and the content to add.
Throughout the discussions, two example books will be used, one, from OpenStax, on American History, specifically the chapter on WWII.

The second book is on Online Education.

Finally, there are some links to find content to add to OERs and a technical guide.
Re-mixing OERs empower faculty to create the pedagogy that they feel is best for their students. Writing an OER is time consuming, but much of the basic material exists. Re-mixing an OER allows educators to add local focus, cultural content, or other information they feel is missing from basic texts. It allows them to add exercises or questions throughout the reading to create a text that they feel meets their students’ needs.
