ABSTRACT
This paper briefly identifies and considers the implications of six quality categories that must be confronted when seeking to use Open Educational Resources in course design and development: content, presentation design, level of openness, resource size, use of technology, and “findability.” Based on the experience of the “Look OER” searches, it then offers several recommended strategies to overcome and address these quality-related issues when searching for and using OERs.| Keywords | Look OER Project · OER findability · OER quality |
