I wasn’t planning on including MOOCs on this site, because a) they seem to fall in the range of open-ish and b) many are only really available to view when they are actually running and you’ve registered for the course.  I decided to include a resource from Thai MOOC because the CC license is clearly indicated and because it is very difficult to find any other type of OER in Thai.

I selected this particular MOOC – a course on photography techniques using drones  – because it was a good example of a current, relevant-to-many topic available as an OER and prime for adapting.  Of course, I’m judging this purely on the course description, since the course doesn’t actually start until January 7.  As an aside, I really wish MOOC sites would let you view the OER content without having to register and wait for the start date.
