OERs for Spanish

The Spanish OER sub-pages are a list of OER links. The OERs in the sub-pages ARE NOT a complete list of all Spanish OER textbooks and ancillaries available. Instead, they are meant to help guide faculty members who don't want to look for OER materials for their classes, for those who can't find any OERs on their own, for those who are overwhelmed by the huge number of OERs available, and for those who aren't sure about the legality of a source they have found on their own. All sources included here can be used in your classes under various creative common licenses.
