Learn the ins and outs of building OER together with your peers.

dScribe, short for "digital and distributed scribes," is a participatory and collaborative model for creating open content. It brings together students, staff, faculty, and self-motivated learners to work toward the common goal of creating openly licensed content available to everyone. It was first developed at the University of Michigan to join students with faculty and staff to transform educational material into open educational resources (OER). dScribe encourages anyone interested to get involved in not only creating open content, but also generating awareness about the benefits of creating and sharing educational content with a global learning community.

Reviewing your work

Before publishing the material, ask a more experienced dScribe to review your material and suggest any changes that might be made to assuage potential copyright, privacy, endorsement, or other formatting issues. Once addressed, the resource is then ready for publication!

- make sure things are consistent

- watch for things out of context (keep flow in mind)

- dot your i's

Publishing

With the edits and review complete, you can publish these resources anywhere you want: your personal website, a photo sharing site like Flickr, a document sharing site like SlideShare, or any number of other sharing communities like the ones you drew from to begin with.

An added benefit of utilizing the dScribe process is the fact that there is a team of specialists dedicated to helping you maximize the reach and impact your work can have.
