"Many Open Education Resources (OER) that have been introduced by governments, universities, and individuals within the past few years. OERs provide teaching and learning materials that are freely available and offered online for anyone to use. Whether you're an instructor, student, or self-learner, you have access to full courses, modules, syllabi, lectures, assignments, quizzes, activities, games, simulations, and tools to create these components.

While some OERs include OpenCourseWare (OCW) or other educational materials, they may also offer the means to alter those courses through editing, adding to those courses through publication, and the ability to shape the tools that share those resources. "

2. Write
If you reach an end, or simply don't like the story's trajectory, graft a new snippet and take the story's direction into your own hands.

3. Publish
Publish so that others may add on to your story. If it gets ranked well and has enough offshoots it stays, if not, watch it wither
and die.
