As Part of a Greater Whole

Many open resources encourage you to adapt and mix them with your own content and sometimes other content. When open content is mixed into existing content, evaluation is based on fundamentally different questions.

• Does it compliment the existing content?
• Does it fill in a gap?
• Does it present the same material through a different lens?
• And most importantly, does it integrate with your content and with your presentation style?

Examples of content that can be incorporated into a larger whole include the Smithsonian 3D collection, Web Gallery of Art, and the author's own mathematics and physics visualizations.
