Welcome to scioer: An Open Education Resource Creation Tool!

Learn More Students Instructors

Making open education resources easy for everyone!

This site is still under construction.

This resource is part of an investigation into a semi-automated process for creating Self-Contained, Interactive Open Educational Resources (SCIOER) for use by students and instructors in the discipline of Computer Science.

Resources created through the SCIOER process are self-contained andprovide all the tools necessary for learners.

The interactive nature of the resource encourages experimentation and incremental practice. Learners are able to annotate SCIOER resources with their personal observations and learnings.
