Using Advanced Search To Find Open Content

1 min read

Last week, we put out a guide to creating openly licensed content prior to our first open content authoring event in Philadelphia, and our session at EduCon on open content. During these events, several people asked about the easiest way to find openly licensed content. Sites like OER Commons can be useful, but for us, the easiest way we have found is using Google's advanced search feature.

The screencast below gives a quick overview on how to find content. If you are doing this as part of research, you will want to use one of several methods to sort and organize the useful information you discover. We will cover how to collect and organize this information in a follow up screencast.
