This document summarizes the presentation "classified ads for open educational resources" given at the OER14 conference. It discusses the need for an easy-to-use platform to connect people seeking or sharing open educational resources (OER). The presenter notes that most OER discussion currently occurs through conferences, emails, or websites. To address this, she created "OER Exchange", a Craigslist-style site for posting and answering questions about OER. Examples of potential posts are provided. Feedback on the new site is requested. The goal is to make it simple for the OER community to share resources and information.
