What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?

Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching resources available in a variety of formats that have an open copyright license. This allows anyone to use, adapt and share them as needed. There are different types of open copyright licenses that allow a range of permissions to the user. Many of these are administered by Creative Commons.

Open educational resources and open pedagogy have many benefits for both faculty and students.

Allowing faculty to adapt teaching materials to match the content of their courses
Providing students with the opportunity to create, collaborate and share their learning
Lowering the cost of education makes it more accessible and affordable for all
