Using resources from the commons, this project addressed the lack of teaching on LGBT health within the curriculum. The remixed and repurposed resources were contributed back to the commons as CC BY licensed OER. New open resources including digital stories recorded from patient interviews and resources for Secondary School children of all ages were also created and released as CC BY OER.
