The OER Project Canvas application
The OER Project Canvas application has all course materials that make up our social-studies courses. You can embed any of our free course materials, such as activities, articles, videos, and visual aids, into your Canvas course pages. All course materials include embedded scaffolds—including adjustable Lexile levels, audio versions of articles, and video transcripts—for optimal accessibility. After downloading the app, you’ll be prompted to create an OER Project account or sign in with your existing credentials to begin accessing materials. This log-in will allow you to embed OER Project materials directly to your Canvas pages.
