5 OER TOOLS FOR TEACHERS OR STUDENTS
Recently I have been doing research on simple mechanical teaching. As I search for relevant knowledge, I find that humans are truly intelligent. When we find it complicated to do something, we invent some tools to help us simplify complicated things. These tools simplify or reduce the amount of power that humans need to do things so that we can do things more efficiently.
In this week's video, Dr.Morin mentioned that it takes a lot of time to create OER teaching materials, and I am also sure this is not an easy thing to do. At this point, I have been wondering if there are any other tools online that can help teachers make OER teaching materials. To that end, I did an online search and found five tools that I thought were good, and I will share them here. I hope these tools will greatly increase the effectiveness of teachers in producing OER teaching materials.
5 OER TOOLS FOR TEACHERS OR STUDENTS:

However, WatchKnowLearn does not offer videos per se, but this site does serve as a video library and provides links to excellent educational videos of educators' choice.
