Add content from OER Commons to your course

You can add Open Educational Resources (OER) from OER Commons to your Schoology course.

You must have an OER Commons account - register or sign in .
You must have OER Commons content saved either to your profile or the Point Park University group .

See the OER Commons Help Center for more information on finding and saving content.

In your course, Add Materials > Add File/Link/External Tool > External Tool
Tool Provider: OER Commons
Title: Type in the name of the content you're adding
Submit. You'll be returned to where you were when you clicked Add Materials.
Click the item you just created.
If this is your first time using the OER Commons external tool, you'll be prompted to log in to your OER Commons account; otherwise, you'll see your saved items.
Click the Select button next to the item you'd like to insert.
You'll get the message, Your current activity has ended.
The page doesn't refresh automatically, so to view the content, you either have to refresh the page or go back to where the item lives in your course and click it again. You only have to do this right after adding the item--in the future, you (and students) will just click the link.
