Adaptation and Modification of Existing Resources


Our Recommendation

The sequential outline of this page, along with the links to other valuable resources, makes it an excellent starting point for learning about the considerations involved in adaptation and modification of OER. Clicking on each of the hyperlinked steps in Step 3 allows for further exploration.

Sometimes you will find OER that might need to be adapted to fit specific needs and requirements for your classroom. Adapting OER means making changes to already existing open content (Revise and Remix). It can be as basic as editing the content so as to customize it to your needs (Revise) or finding other OER content that you can combine and integrate with the original OER content (Remix).
