By submitting the above-mentioned types of items to OER Matters, you can promote the work you are involved in, such as wiki, blogs, or conferences to the OER Commons community.
Just like the other submission forms, many of the questions on the“ Submit OER Matters Content ”form are self-explanatory. I’ll explain the fields where I anticipate you might have questions. This form differs from the others—there is more than one page. By clicking the“Next”button as you complete each page, you will be given the opportunity to rate, comment, create tags, and notes for this material.

There is a succession of pages with short forms; you reach each next page by clicking the“Next”button. On each“next”page you can add comments, keywords and/or tags, and notes. Click the“Save”button to submit your OER Matters content.
Complete the Recommend New OER form if you would like to recommend either Course-Related or Libraries and Collections OER. Using this form helps the OER Commons team become aware of more OER providers and materials to include in OER Commons. This in turn helps educators and learners connect with even more teaching and learning material.
The OER Commons Team reviews data contributed through the use of the forms mentioned above, but does not guarantee the accuracy of data submitted to us by others. Our policy requires that users submit only material that they own, have permission to use, and properly attribute. Consistent with this policy, we would remove items from our database found to be in violation of the rights and conditions of use for those materials.
