gooru is not only an OER platform but it can also be a LMS (Learning Management System) for the classroom. Educators can search for resources or collections that have been created by other educators with or without an account. If an account is created educators will be able to save collections and "remix" them to match their classroom needs. Educators can also create their own collections from searches of individual resources and if using the platform as a LMS assign them to specific classes. Educators can add text, questions, files, audio to any of the collections. Uploads and links can be added as well. Gooru also integrates with may school platforms as well as Google classroom. Creating a class and attaching content is a very detailed process, however there are many tutorials and guides to help. The assessment modules have analytics built in.
Blendspace is a platform that is a simple drag and drop of resources that can be searched within the platform or uploaded from your computer. The platform is connected to YouTube and teacher created media as well as TES (the sponsor of the website) created media. (Some of the media is for a fee.) You can also type directly into the boxes or create a quiz directly into the space, also embed other webpage items within the boxes to direct your students to other content.
