I refer to this below, but I want to give this announcement from Scott Leslie full billing: "my experience travelling around my own province for the last few years is that OER is still not a widely publicized phenomenom, and that faculty and ed tech support staff are still living with "scarcity mentalities" when it comes to the availability of free and open educational resources. So as one small step to address this, we built this new site, Free Learning. There are many other good OER portals out there. If faculty and students were already using these, then we wouldn't have a problem. But, in my experience, they are not... so we built this one, also to give more play to locally developed resources that are Fully Open." Meanwhile, Tony Bates offers another listing of OER websites.
