Authoring OER

Writing your own textbook or other OER material is a time-consuming task. Here are some links that will provide some assistance. ASCCC OERI staff recommend the use of LibreTexts for creating OER textbooks although they also say it has a somewhat steep learning curve.

If you have questions, please contact me, Jane Ishibashi, jishibashi@fullcoll.edu.
