Finding or developing reusable teaching materials calls for attention to both content and the process around it. Open educational resource platforms can support authoring, publishing, and adapting learning resources. Compare authoring tools, publishing workflow, content review, and download formats, as well as remix and adaptation support. An open-license filter can help narrow resources by licensing, and API access may be relevant when connecting with other systems. SkillsCommons, LibreTexts, and DIKSHA are options to weigh. Consider free-plan availability and paid-from pricing too, then match the listed capabilities to the materials you want to create, share, or adapt.
27 open educational resource platforms ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
