Just released in beta, OER Commons is a content aggregation network for the use and reuse of Open Educational Resources, produced by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME), and supported by the Hewlett Foundation. With metadata and pointers gathered from OER items worldwide, the site builds a knowledge base across institutions with features including: user tagging, rating, reviewing, and annotating OER, as well as providing forums for discussion and exploration on emerging topics related to OER issues.
OER Commons brings together K-12, Higher Education, Training, and OER-related resources to make them more useful for students, instructors, and self-learners through collaborative engagement, quality vetting, and sharing. Content topics are diverse and include: climate change, all of the various arts and sciences at all grade levels, mathematics education, music theory, global development, digital signal processing, and copyright issues.
