This page contains resources about OER that still might need to be added to the OER Resources database.

To add them, go to the OER Resources form and fill in the correct information for each link. Then remove the link from this page so it doesn't get added a second time.

Note: This page was imported from http://learn.creativecommons.org/resources using an HTML to wiki-syntax converter and then slightly edited. It could use heavy cleanup.
