An OER creation process begins with reuse of existing OER; the Internet is a rich source of text OER.
# One method of accessing existing OER is to search some text repositories. The most popular text OER repository is the digital encyclopedia, Wikipedia. You can access Wikipedia on <nowiki>http://http://en.wikipedia.org</nowiki>. Wikipedia is available in more than hundred other languages, so you may also be able to search for text OER in your native language. You can search for your topic in Wikipedia, by simply typing this text in the search bar. We will do this for ‘Digital Story Telling’ (DST) which is the OER proposed to be created as an exemplar by this tool-kit.
