Open educational resources (OER) are digital materials that can be re-used
for teaching, learning, research and more, made available for free through open
licenses, which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted
under copyright alone. As a mode for content creation and
sharing, OER alone cannot award degrees nor provide academic or administrative
support to students. However, OER
materials are beginning to get integrated into open and distance education.
OER include different kinds of digital
assets. Learning content includes courses, course materials, content modules, learning objects, collections, and
journals. Tools include software that supports the creation, delivery, use and
improvement of open learning content, searching and organization of content,
content and learning management systems, content development tools, and on-line
learning communities. Implementation resources include intellectual property
licenses that govern open publishing of materials, design-principles, and
localization of content.
They also include materials on best
practices such as stories, publication, techniques, methods, processes,
incentives, and distribution.
