OER collection

Explore our comprehensive collection of instructional materials that are free, shareable and modifiable.

All resources are available on a Google site. Many are also available in Google folders so you can access them even if they disappear online.

Contact Christine or use the contact form to find out more.

The AlphaPlus OER collection contains hundreds of workbooks, online modules and learning activities that can be used online and in-person. They cover a range of instructional topics, such as 

  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Math and numeracy
  • Literacy development supports (vocabulary, grammar and phonics)
  • Digital learning 
  • Job preparation 
  • Test and exam preparation.

We also have materials focused on empowering learners and supporting the professional development of adult educators. 

How was it developed?

To build the collection, we worked with a group of instructors from school boards and community groups who provided guidance to ensure the materials are

  • Free and ad-free
  • Shareable and reproducible
  • Mostly modifiable 
  • Ready-to-use with instructional activities
  • Accompanied by tips, ideas and strategies for educators.

We took the time to review and vet materials from over 100 resource collections in Canada, the U.S., U.K. and Australia. All the resources contain a brief review and indication of allowable uses. 

A French collection is under development.
