MIT OpenCourseWare, http://ocw.mit.edu/
OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course

Are you looking for open content for a particular topic?
If so, what topic?
What types of materials are you seeking (e.g. images, videos,
presentation slides, case studies)?
Here’s what you asked for:
“I am frequently looking for images to use in my presentations. I know how to use the Creative Commons search engine, but I never seem to find images that really work. Blogs that I read frequently use great images that have creative commons license, but I can never really seem to find what I'm looking for.”
“I’m a GSI for an interdisciplinary intro level science course. I'd like to be able to make our lab intros a little more exciting. So, where I can find open learning materials on intro astronomy, geology, evolution, ecology and ecosystem ?

closing remarks
It's easiest to create open content from the start.
By making a small change in how you create your
own content…
…and licensing your creations as OER…
…you can gain recognition, publish and
promote your research and teaching materials,
connect with collaborators, and preserve and apply
knowledge.
