Before sharing, remove student names, grades, attendance, accommodation or disability information, identifiable student work, and other private or sensitive information.

Screened Before Publication, Not Independently Validated
Submissions are reviewed before they appear in the public feed for obvious privacy and publication problems. Publication does not mean a prompt has been independently tested, fact-checked, endorsed, or shown to work across tools and disciplines.

How community submissions are reviewed and published
Someone Shares a Prompt
The submission form collects the prompt, its purpose, and optional context such as discipline or tool used.
The Maintainer Reviews It
A submission does not enter the public feed until it is explicitly marked approved. Only allowlisted fields are published.
The Community Adds Signals
Visitors can say a prompt worked or report a problem. Those signals are useful context, not quality scores or formal endorsements.
Community showcase
See What People Are Trying
The showcase is an informal space for examples of what happened when someone tried, adapted, or corrected a prompt.
Useful Things to Share
- A short screen-share showing how you found or evaluated OER.
- An example of locating a library-provided zero-cost resource.
