Abstract
A few months ago, I attended the 1st RLOE (Regional Leaders of Open Education Network) Boston Summit that hosted several OER leaders from across the U.S. One of the leaders asked how to best centralize OER content for access to educators in their institution. After the question came up, I wondered what happens to OER content when the individual storing the content leaves the institution. Does anyone else have access? Does the person take all the information with them? Storing OER content in one’s cloud system, like a dropbox or google drive folder, can cause trouble. In this blog, I will discuss three ways departments, organizations, and individuals can use a centralized storage system for OER content without worrying about the content being lost in the clouds.
