> OER Glue is a *uniquely open approach* to online learning that lets
> content be used where it already resides rather than requiring it to be
> copied into a new system. OER Glue can be used to *efficiently assemble
> courses* and teach online by “glueing together” open education resources
> (OERs) and integrating with popular online services including Google
> Documents, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and discussion and assessment tools.
> OER Glue’s web browser add-on approach allows it to wrap context and
> navigation tools around online content and to *integrate content and
> services from multiple sources in a coherent manner*. In order to ensure
> that resources remain available, OER Glue integrates with services such as
> internet archive. The following scenarios describe the experience of using

> Key aspects of OER Glue are:
>
>    - *Student engagement* – OER Glue increases student engagement and
>    satisfaction by supporting online instruction that utilizes timely,
>    authentic content and popular Web 2.0 tools.
>    - *Instructional effectiveness* – OER Glue supports effective
>    instruction by helping teachers find and develop learning activities and
>    assessments that are aligned with their instructional goals.
>    - *Teacher efficiency* – OER Glue helps teachers efficiently assemble,
>    deliver, and update online courses.
>    - *OER* – OER Glue helps authors easily find and adapt relevant high
>    quality free online resources for their courses.
>    - *Glue* – People are frustrated with the poor user experience of
>    existing systems that require you to copy your content into them, but
>    enthusiastic about the new Web 2.0 tools that continue to emerge. OER Glue
>    lets you use content where it already is and to easily integrate third party
>    tools in a coherent manner to teach online.
