OERColorado
Colorado Learns Through Shared Knowledge
OERColorado is a statewide initiative of Colorado River Board of Cooperative Education Services (CR BOCES) that provides digital collections of free openly licensed resources for PK-12 educators to use in their teaching and classrooms.
The mission of OERColorado is to support Colorado educators, administrators, and other educational stakeholders in PK-12 in using Open Educational Resources (OER) materials, share ideas, and create affordable, high quality learning resources.
OER stands for Open Educational Resources. Our collections house lessons, classes, simulations, games, rubrics, ice-breakers, and many other educational tools, free for teachers to use in their classrooms. The Creative Commons copyright licenses (CC) promote the use, sharing, revision and adaptation of OER content. OER encourages the "Five R's" of shared use; allowing educators to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute Open Educational Resources.
Collections and resources on OERColorado link from the national and international OER Commons collections.
