UMass Dartmouth has a dedicated page within OER Commons for depositing OER created by UMD faculty members. This allows us to share the great work of our educators with the community and our students. Please check out the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth hub on OER Commons.
Do you have an openly licensed work to share? It could be a textbook, assignment, class notes, etc. Please contact Emma Wood about contributing to our OER Commons hub.
Page describing the benefits of OER and UMass Dartmouth's efforts to promote the use of Open Educational Resources. Includes a list of websites for finding open materials.
UMass Dartmouth has implemented an OER Adoption program where faculty learn about open resources and select OER to employ in their classes, and an OER Creator program which helps faculty to author and share their own teaching materials.
It's important to note that materials licensed under traditional copyright may also be incorporated into your courses under Fair Use without cost to your students.
We subscribe to many article databases, which contain full-text articles. Your students can access these articles if you link to their permanent URL. Often these links are located on the abstract page.
Check out our databases to see if there are articles appropriate to your course.
The Primo Discovery System also contains electronic books and online government publications, which also contain permanent URLs, which are called "permalinks" and located under the "View Online" tab, under "Actions."
