Does anyone have an OER for online American Sign Language (ASL)?
Open Course Library has materials for three ASL courses:
http://opencourselibrary.org/course/
Our ASL instructor has put together a series of resources for this and I created a webpage with her links:
https://ltcconline.net/greenl/OER/AS101OER.html
An ASL instructor at Western Oregon University has a list of suggestions for you:

I’ve got an ASL instructor who is looking for a no-cost picture dictionary. Does anyone know of anything?
Are they wanting a print version? There is a free dictionary online at https://www.signasl.org/
RIT/NTID put together ASLCORE https://aslcore.org/ which contains over 2000 entries in a variety of subjects from STEM areas to Humanities.
The focus is on more specialized vocabulary in these areas.
The resource is free to use, but does not have an open license.
I apologize, I'm sure this has been asked before, but can anyone share a list of American Sign Language OERs?
I don't have a list for you but I can tell you that I have an ASL faculty creating an OER right now.
He is using quite a bit of Bill Vicars content (attributed as Vicar's recommends) https://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/instructor.htm
I"m happy to send it to you once he's done. Or if you hear of any, please share.
We have a faculty member looking for OER in ASL. The emphasis in this course is on expanding (1) grammatical understanding of ASL,
(2) functional application of ASL, (3) vocabulary, and (4) understanding and appreciation of Deaf culture and the Deaf community.
We have not been successful with finding current OER, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Shannon, we have two courses using related no-cost materials, maybe not quite what you're looking for though.
Padden, Carol and Tom Humphries. Inside Deaf Culture. vol. 1st Harvard University Press pbk. ed, Harvard University Press, 2006. (Library ebook)

I am looking for American Sign Language and Deaf Culture OER Resources.
This will not help with finding pure OER, but I always thought one of the best use examples of a media not typical thought of as
OER was the Sign With Robert series on Giphy. The repetition of action seems ideal for practicing.

Of course these are not shared under any license, and the status of animated gifs if I read right is that they are be
default copyrighted. I guess they could be used as an external link/reference.
Hi Shanna, here's a book created at Western Oregon University:
Integrated and Open Interpreter Education edited by Elisa Maroney, Amanda Smith, Sarah Hewlett, Erin Trine, and Vicki Darden
We have a fingerspelling text on our LibreVerse corpus (along with the text that Amy mention):
https://human.libretexts.org/
I have an ASL instructor looking to adapt a dynamic ASL textbook. Your recommendations are appreciated.
I haven’t seen a lot of ASL OER. Have you seen Signing Naturally?
I think the cost is reasonable, and it has some fantastic resources. Faculty at Houston Community College very happy with it.
I know of the following OER for ASL:
American Sign Language
Finger Spelling
https://pressbooks.saskpolytech.ca/oerdiscipline/chapter/asl/
Also these on other aspects of Deaf Education
Integrated and Open Interpreter Education.
Deaf Education Pressbook
In addition, I believe the following might not have Creative Commons licensing but are free:

Bill Vicars' ASL University YouTube Channel
We recently published two OER textbooks in the past year on signed languages.
The faculty author uses a lot of the online resources others have mentioned and cites them in the text but likes
students to have a book/workbook to follow. You can find those here.
Introduction to Signed Languages
Intermediate Signed Languages
I am looking for OER in American Sign Language.
There is a project slowly moving forward in City College of San Diego.
I know some of their content is hosted as h5p activities on our Studio platform (mostly interactive videos):
https://studio.libretexts.org/collection/18334
Have you checked Open Textbook Library?
There are some ASL OER that I've compiled here: https://libguides.polk.edu/asl
