  Where to look for open content

  Once you are comfortable with what each of the Creative Commons licences mean, the next step is to go out and find the resources that have these licenses. Sadly, there is no one-stop shop where you might go to search for, and collect, open content. We need to use various search techniques in order to source the open educational resources (OER) that carry the Creative Commons (CC) licenses.
