On this page you will find two videos to help you begin thinking about the why’s and how’s of adapting OER’s. The majority of the information is around the adaption of open textbooks however the concepts can apply to any open educational resource. After the videos you will find a link to an entire guide created by BC Campus on Open Textbook Adaption.
