Hm, this is interesting question. I know there are videos on how to evaluate
websites or Wikipedia, but I don't know about OERs. This might be because
there are so many different types of multimedia.

We don't include evaluation on our libguide
(http://guides.library.umass.edu/oer) but when I mention that certain
resources are peer-reviewed, faculty definitely appreciate it.

If you get any responses off list, I'd be interested to hear them!

Best,
Charlotte

Hi all-

I'm working on a libguide about open educational resources, mainly focused
on materials used in teaching.  I wanted to include a page
about how to evaluate open educational resources.   Can anyone point
me to some good sources?  I'm particularly interested in short video, but
would be happy for any information that could be useful for my faculty and
students to use to evaluate this information.

Thanks very much-

Tucky
