Technically open - this is how it works
Four basic rules for ensuring the technical openness of OER.
File formats
More about file formatsSave your content in open formats that can be opened and edited with free and/or widely used software.
Access
View access optionsChoose services or platforms for publishing your materials that are ad-free and allow access to your content without a login barrier.
Open Source
Discover open source tipsIf possible, use open source programs or freeware when creating them, as this makes it much easier for third parties to reuse them.
Accessibility
Tips for accessible OERMake sure that your material is designed to be as accessible as possible so that all interested parties can access it.
Note: Not all technical recommendations can be fully implemented in every situation. If you want to work with a proprietary program , be sure to check the provider’s terms of use to see whether openly licensing works created with the program is permitted. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us.

Tools for practical OER creation
In this overview, we present various tools that support you in the creation and publication of OER. The list will be updated on an ongoing basis.
Material creation with GitHub templates
GitHub is a free online service for collaborative work on software projects. The service has been successfully established in the open source community for many years and is very well suited for OER creation due to its openness. Using the following GitHub template, you can create and publish your own OER in just a few minutes.

Working with LiaScript
LiaScript is an open-source application for creating online courses with interactive content (e.g. animations, mathematical formulas, quizzes). The use of the application is free of charge and is basically open to everyone: All you need to create your own courses is a browser or text editor. The following tutorial will guide you quickly and easily through the creation and publication of your first LiaScript course.

Jupyter is an open source project that provides web-based tools for interactive data analysis and programming. With Jupyter Notebooks, you can combine code, text, equations and visualizations in one document and execute individual code blocks independently. The following guide will show you how to design and publish OER with Jupyter in just a few steps.
