Media specifically refers to video or audio recordings. If you have a recording of a presentation or an .mp3 of podcast-style content, this is considered media.

All video and audio recording submissions should be assigned the Media publication type. The preferred format is .mp4/.mp3. 

Video recordings include conference presentations, lectures.

Audio recordings include podcasts, music, voiced narratives.

Some OER may not comfortably fit into other publication types (such as lab materials, course manuals, quiz banks, etc). For these materials, use the Educational Resource type. Items should only be published as Educational Resource if there is no other type that is more appropriate for the content.
