A good OER is:

• findable – it can be in multiple locations
• clearly described
• clearly licensed (normally through Creative Commons)
• from a source you trust
• easy to modify
• free-standing – it does not assume knowledge of other resources
• free of copyright content
• being used by/recommended by people like you
• imperfect – it just needs to work for you.
