This document provides an overview of the C-SAP OER pilot project which aimed to explore open sharing of teaching materials from academic partners in sociology, politics, anthropology, and criminology. The project sought to examine tacit assumptions around resource creation and sharing. Partners contributed approximately 60 credits of materials to repositories like JORUM and MERLOT. The project developed mapping and review tools to help facilitate understanding and reuse of resources by revealing tacit elements normally left unstated. Case studies examined partners' experiences with the process of opening up materials.
