One of the benefits of OER is the ability to adapt resources to tailor them to the specific needs of your class.

Providing attribution is essential when using OER. All CC licenses require that attribution be given to the creator. Use the "TASL approach" when sharing your on work as well as giving attribution others:
T= Title
A = Author (tell reusers who to give credit to)
S = Source (give reusers a link to the resource)
L = License (link to the CC licence deed)
