Repurposing involves customizing open educational resources for local use by replacing institutional branding, adjusting assessments, and adding local instructions to fit the needs of a new course or program. It allows educators to save time by adapting existing high-quality materials rather than creating everything from scratch, while still tailoring the content as needed. Repurposing benefits from the flexibility of open licensing which facilitates legal sharing and revision of creative works.
