Primers and Toolkits

There are excellent guides from other colleges and organizations that explain the nuts and bolts of OER. I recommend these as great primers. 

OER Toolkit - The Learning Portal at Ontario Colleges Library Services (tlp-lpa.ca): This toolkit provides information and tools to help faculty and library staff across all publicly funded colleges in Ontario, Canada to understand, engage with, and sustain OER in their work and practice.
