The last couple of years have seen New York state fund open education resources:

One manifestation of this is this set of courses:
http://commons.suny.edu/sunyoercommunitycourse/
the existence of which was recently brought to my attention. We haven't talked much
about these efforts or made contacts with those at nearby SUNY campuses involved in these
efforts, but my understanding from the OER event held at the UR last spring was that SUNY
Geneseo is doing significant work with this.

As it happens, though, there is a message at the root of the page on which those courses
sit
http://commons.suny.edu/
that notes:
Commons Closing September 1; Groups Continue to Migrate to Workplace Environment
For the past year, SUNY Learning Commons Groups have been migrating from the
commons.suny.edu WordPress platform to the new Commons via Facebook Workplace platform.
Most groups have proactively migrated to the new space, enjoying the additional
functionality of the system. We thank you for making this transition! As a courtesy,
we do want to notify everyone that the WordPress Commons groups will be shutting down on
September 1, 2018.
So, I don't know if only some of the Wordpress functionality is moving to the
Facebook-hosted site and so that those courses will remain, or if those links will shortly
be removed.
