Conclusion
Remember to apply a search protocol that provides a series of steps, or a process, to ensure your searches are effective:
- Have a clear idea of what you are looking for.
- Know your CC licenses and what they permit:
- Use Google Advanced Search Usage Rights to identify potential open content aligned to a subject or topic.
- Use Creative Commons Search to identify specific media types.
- Use the filters on popular platforms, like YouTube and Google image search to identify open content.
- Those resources with a license that omits ND can be revised and/or remixed.
In conclusion we encourage all Zambian educators to start finding, adapting and creating new OER. Below is an example of an openly licensed OER made by one of your colleagues, Hazel Chibolyo, posted and made available to all on YouTube. Why not join her?
