The University of Minnesota hosts the Open Textbook Library which
includes reviews of the open textbooks by faculty members. See:
http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/
For an example of a review, see:
http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=28#Reviews
Assessing the quality of open content is also the topic of the SPARC
ACRL Forum on Saturday afternoon, June 28th at ALA Annual in Las
Vegas, for those of you attending ALA who are interested in this
topic. Time and room information will be announced later, and
complete information will be added to ALA Scheduler when available.
Cheers,
Lisa

MERLOT II (http://info.merlot.org/merlothelp/index.htm#merlot_collection.htm)
lists OER of various media types that have been subject to its open
peer-review process. The quality of their resources seems uniformly
high, so you could do worse than select from what they have available.

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,

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
