Expanding the Global Collection of Open Assets for Open Education Week 2025

Sharing open assets in existing repositories

In previous years of Open Education Week we called for contributions of open “assets” to our own database (see the archive of resources added 2015 – 2023). Last year we decided to shift focus in asking participants to share in any existing repository resulting in 132 new resources added to the world’s collection. The archives may give you ideas of the types of assets we aim to share.

As an evolving effort in 2025 we are asking to focus sharing in two global repositories, OER Commons and the OER World Map. Together we can make a significant impact on their collections of open resources.

But we do not limit where you choose to share open assets. The third option is that you share your open assets wherever is most appropriate and then add a post with some details in our OE Global Connect community space. As a reference, see a long list repositories suggested for Open Education Week 2024.

In the spirit of Open Education Week, the sharing of assets is aimed at making a strong statement of what participants can contribute together to the global collection open education resources.
