Open educational resources (OER) are learning and teaching materials, freely available online for anyone to use. Examples include full courses, course modules, lectures, games, teaching materials and assignments. They can take the form of text, images, audio, video and may even be interactive. Teachers, learners and the general public can access and make use of open educational resources, irrespective of their location or affiliation with any particular institution.
Individuals and organisations can create and share their own open educational resources. Releasing open educational resources is not simply about putting learning and teaching material online; it involves making the material available in a genuinely open way. OER can be looked upon as a process as well as a set of products. Opening up learning and teaching materials does not equate to providing a free education.
