Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on

OER Glue is a product (still under development) that comes from a Utah-based startup. It's a a browser-based tool that allow you to “glue” together OER resources online. Rather than having to copy-and-paste resources into a new setting, OER Glue will reuse and integrate resources.
When you find good OER (open education resources), you copy it to use, but OER keeps evolving and your project becomes outdated. OER Glue http://www.oerglue.com wants to allow you to mash live OERs into your project.

"Your content stays fresh," according to OER Glue's Web site. OER Glue also integrates with many important educational and cultural Web 2.0 platforms and sites, including Google Docs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Blackboard, Moodle, Flickr, Wikipedia, Plone, Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, MediaWiki, RSS, Delicious, Google Calendar, Survey Monkey, Maple TA, IRC, SMS, e-mail, and more.

The site also offers open courses http://www.oerglue.com/courses. That's an area best represented by MIT's Open Courseware Initiative but there are many other sites. Check out the list at http://onlineanddistancelearning.com/oer.
