What are open educational resources?

Open Educational Resources (OER) – OER are learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.

OER can include full courses/programmes, course materials, modules, student guides, teaching notes, textbooks, research articles, videos, assessment tools and instruments, interactive materials such as simulations and role plays, databases, software, apps (including mobile apps) and any other educationally useful materials.

The term «OER» is not synonymous with online learning, еLearning or mobile learning. Many OER — while shareable in a digital format — are also printable. (UNESCO. Guidelines for open educational resources (OER) in higher education.)

With a CC Licence, , students can find and use free materials for reports and presentations, lecturers can customize textbooks and lesson plans, universities can distribute video lectures to a global audience, and publishers (university publishers or libraries) can adapt materials and develop services to enhance the learning experience.
