OER Handbook/educator version one/Find/Individual project sites

There are individual, isolated OER available on websites scattered throughout the internet. While a Creative Commons Search (see above) can find some of these materials, it will not find all of them. For OER that can't be found through the Creative Commons search engine, use a traditional search engine (Google, Yahoo, etc.) with the keyword "free" or "open" along with the type of resource you're looking for. (see Search Engine section for more information).

If you use OER from an individual site, consider writing an e-mail to encourage the content creator. You may also want to point them to appropriate repositories they could submit the OER to as well, so their OER gains more exposure.
