I was introducing the concept of phonetics and how sounds relate to the different International Phonetic symbols. I used the CC search engine and was able to find the following media files:

  1. an OER image of the vowels (web location entered)
  2. an OER audio file with an introduction and demonstration of the US English vowel system (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:En-us-InternationalPhoneticAlphabet.ogg)
  3. an OER video demonstration on how to articulate the consonants (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Introduction_to_Articulatory_Phonetics_(Consonants)-dfoRdKuPF9I.webm)

Nonetheless, I have to say that finding at least 3 OER media was not an easy task. It really depends on the topic of your search. Luckily, “phonetic symbols” is a narrow topic and I was able to find relevant media relatively easily.
