Washington OER

Harnessing the potential of OER to share resources widely - promoting equitable access to standards-aligned, quality instructional materials.

    About Washington OER Project

    The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is the primary agency charged with overseeing K-12 public education in Washington state. Our vision is to have all students prepared for post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement.

    OSPI's K-12 OER Project works with Washington districts to increase awareness of openly licensed materials, promote open policies, and explore OER as an important part of their instructional materials strategy. The OER Commons Washington Hub contains reviewed courses and units that have been developed by OSPI grantees or collaborators and aligned to Washington K-12 Learning Standards.

    Note that this is an evolving site with resources added as they are developed.

      Creating OER with Open Author

      Open Author helps you create, remix, license, publish and share OER. You can use it to create a copy of a resource instantly (remix away!), build units and lessons using a template specially designed for modularized content, co-author with colleagues—and even see how others are remixing your work. You can also use Open Author to accomplish Common Core tagging and OER Quality Evaluation, and to integrate with popular learning and content management systems (LMS).
