Navigate to the sections entitled “Find OER to LEARN” and “FIND university-level online courses (MOOCs)” and peruse the various databases. Visit at least one of these databases and search for a resource that interests you. This could be a free college course, an audiobook that you’d like to listen to, or even a book you might have purchased for another class, just to give you a few examples. In the text box, write which database(s) you looked at, which resource you chose, and include a link.
