Exercise 3: Review of OER Repositories
Exercise Prompt
There are many repositories for OER content. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. In this section of the course, we will review some of these repositories. By sharing our reviews, we can quickly help other users determine if a repository will serve their needs. Reviews will be posted, shared, and retained as a way to contribute to the growing OER movement.
Briefly answer the questions below. Reviews neednt be extensive. Provide any additional information you think other users would like to know.
