Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about OER Remix.

What is OER Remix?

OER Remix is a web platform that lets educators create custom textbooks by importing, remixing, and combining open educational resources from sources like OpenStax, LibreTexts, and OER Commons. You can edit content, reorder chapters, add your own material, and export to PDF, EPUB, or your LMS.

Is OER Remix really free?

Yes! The free tier lets you create up to 3 public textbooks with web publishing and OpenStax imports. No credit card required, no time limit. Pro and Institution plans unlock unlimited books, additional OER sources, PDF/EPUB export, collaboration tools, and LMS integration.

Which OER sources can I import from?

OER Remix connects to 6 repositories: OpenStax (free tier), LibreTexts, OER Commons, MERLOT, Open Textbook Library, and OpenAlex. Pro users get access to all 6 sources. Content is imported with full license and attribution metadata.

How does Creative Commons license tracking work?

Every piece of imported content carries its license metadata. When you import a chapter, OER Remix checks that the source license is compatible with your book's license. Incompatible content is blocked with a clear explanation. When you export, a full TASL (Title, Author, Source, License) attribution page is auto-generated.

Can I integrate with my LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard)?

Yes. Institution plan includes LTI 1.3 deep linking — instructors can embed books directly in their LMS course. Students click the link and land in the web reader. We also support IMS Common Cartridge export for offline LMS import. No IT department needed for the Common Cartridge option.

Are the books I create public?

On the free tier, published books are public (consistent with OER principles). Pro and Institution plans allow private books that are only accessible to your students or team. Draft books are always private regardless of your plan.
