7: Remixing
The OER Remixer allows rapid assembly of customized Remixes from existing sources on our comprehensive and ever-growing libraries. This Remixer Tutorial is a detailed explanation of the Remixer's interface and a walkthrough of how to do basic tasks with the OER Remixer, as well as videos. Your Remixing Map is stored automatically on your computer as you build, so you do not have to complete your Remix in one setting. The Remixer works best on Chrome browsers running on W10.
Before using the OER Remixer, it is important to construct a Remixing Map as described in Section 3.2 . The gist of the map is to identify the content in the libraries that will map into the organization of the new remix . This requires faculty/instructional designers to peruse the Bookshelves of Source texts and of other Course Remixes to identify desired content. Once remixed, these pages can be then edited at the sub-page level (e.g., sub-sections, paragraph, pages etc). The Remixing Map reflects only the initial organization of a custom remix. Notice the customized organization; there is no limit other than imagination and the size/makeup of the LibreTexts libraries. It is often necessary to make placeholder pages in the Remixer if a gap exists in the libraries. New custom content can be added to these pages once the text is created.

- 7.1: How to Make a LibreTexts Remix
- This tutorial will walk you through making a customized text using the LibreTexts remixing tool. Before creating a remix you will need to construct a Remixing Map to guide you in making your remix. The remixing tool can be used for simple tasks like creating a book that consists of select chapters of an existing resource or it can be used to create complex remixes consisting of multiple resources potentially across libraries.
