Open educational resources (OER) are digital materials that can be re-used for teaching, learning, research and more, made available free through open licenses , which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted under copyright alone. [ 1 ] As a mode for content creation and sharing, OER alone cannot award degrees nor provide academic or administrative support to students. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] However, OER materials are beginning to get integrated into open and distance education . [ 4 ] Some OER producers have involved themselves in social media to increase their content visibility and reputation. [ 5 ] OER include different kinds of digital assets. Learning content includes courses, course materials, content modules, learning objects , collections, and journals.

To study its complexities, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology combines the experimental technologies of neurobiology, neuroscience, and psychology, with the theoretical power that comes from the fields of computational neuroscience and cognitive science. The Department was founded by Hans-Lukas Teuber in 1964 as a Department of Psychology, with the then-radical vision that the study of brain and mind are inseparable. Today, at a time of increasing specialization and fragmentation, our goal remains to understand cognition- its processes, and its mechanisms at the level of molecules, neurons, networks of neurons, and cognitive modules. We are unique among neuroscience and cognitive science departments in our breadth, and in the scope of our ambition.
