The SlideWiki platform, the main output of the SlideWiki project, offers an open-source, online platform for creating and sharing Open Educational Resources (OER) in the form of slide decks. Unlike other OER repositories, SlideWiki is built to ensure the smooth reuse, remix and repurpose of OER slides and decks and to help educators access new course materials. SlideWiki combines an online slide creation and presentation tool with a range of interactive features to help engage your audience, such as comments, ratings and questions. All the content published on SlideWiki is made available under the Creative Common CC-BY-SA 4.0 licence which means that you can share, repurpose and reuse content.
