Mathematics and Sciences – https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/filter?sort=alpha&view=grid
The University of Colorado at Boulder creates open source, research-based, interactive simulations for mathematics and the sciences. They cover the full spectrum from kindergarten to university. The filters allow you to zero in on material appropriate for post-secondary learners.

=== Nursing – https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/departments/nursing-tpss/nursing-simulation-scenario-library.html===

Montgomery College offers multiple video scenarios depicting difficult, real-world issues in nursing. Accompanying each scenario are documents to support learning and reflection.

Business – https://mitsloan.mit.edu/LearningEdge/simulations/
Simulations from the Sloan School of Business at MIT are complicated at first glance, but highly engaging and rewarding. Here, the simulation would likely be a fair chunk of your actual course content and not a smaller, value-added component. Consider how you might run the simulation as an entire class or in smaller groups using different variables.

English for Speakers of Other Languages – http://oedb.org/ilibrarian/50_essential_resources_for_esl_students/
This offering is a meta-OER. It aggregates comprehensive resources on ESOL and divides its list into the specific topics of concern for learners.

Humanities – http://justiceharvard.org
Although many institutions now share their courses, or portions of them, online Harvard’s Justice course with Michael Sandel has grown beyond the regular offerings. His Socratic method, coupled with the venue, make you feel as if you are experiencing the class alongside Harvard learners. Each lecture has accompanying material that targets either a novice or advanced learner in the area. This is also an example of how you might use a complete course in another context to supplement an area of your course content.

Open Culture – http://www.openculture.com
Open Culture brings together high-quality cultural and educational media for the worldwide lifelong learning community. Its mission is to centralise this content, curate it, and provide access to this high-quality content whenever and wherever users want it.
