Open educational resources UNESCO Global Open Educational Resources Logo Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed text, media, and other digital assets that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. There is no universal usage of open file formats in OER. The term OER describes publicly accessible materials and resources for any user to use, re-mix, improve and redistribute under some licenses.[1] The development and promotion of open educational resources is often motivated by a desire to provide an alternate or enhanced educational paradigm.[2] Definition and scope[edit] teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. The above definitions expose some of the tensions that exist with OER: These definitions also have common elements, namely they all: History[edit] Licensing and types[edit] OER policy[edit]
OER KnowledgeCloud The UNESCO Chair on Open Technologies for Open Educational Resources and Open Learning has funded the filming of five regional consultations on OER leading to the 2nd International Summit on OER in Ljubljana in September. They are openly licensed and available here: Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East & North Africa From the Atlantic: Academics Want You to Read Their Work for Free. Publishing an open-access paper in a journal can be prohibitively expensive. See the Florida Virtual University's 2016 Student Textbook and Course Materials Survey with responses from 22,000 students. The curricula provider Great Minds is suing FedEx in New York City federal court, arguing that the delivery, printing and photocopying company should compensate the educational organization for the money FedEx makes from requests from schools to copy materials that Great Minds created and makes available for free, on an open license.

Open Educational Resources (OER) UNESCO is the only UN agency with a dedicated OER programme. The term “Open Education Resource” was first coined in 2002 at a forum organised by UNESCO on Open Courseware in Higher Education. In November 2019, the 40th UNESCO General Conference adopted the UNESCO OER Recommendation which is the only international standard setting framework in this area worldwide. UNESCO believes that universal access to information through high quality education contributes to peace, sustainable social and economic development, and intercultural dialogue. Since 2002, UNESCO has developed large-scale projects, with global projects with impact at the regional, national and institution level, to provide expert technical assistance to Member States in advocacy, capacity-building and policy support for OER. This momentum for promoting OER culminated with the UNESCO Recommendation on OER, which was adopted unanimously by the UNESCO General Conference at its 40th Session in November 2019.
Exemplary Collection of Open eLearning Content Repositories Open Educational Content For this exemplary collection the focus is on best practice examples: IIEP-UNESCO Wiki of OER repositories UNESCO/IIEP hosts a Wiki that offers a list of several portals, gateways and repositories. It offers a list of links to OER initiatives, resources and tools. It was compiled following the first IIEP discussion forum on Open Educational Resources (24 October - 2 December 2005).

The Best Sites For Learning About The World’s Different Cultures I’ve compiled several “The Best…” lists that sites where you can learn about the geography, data, languages, and holidays of different countries around the world. Those resources are important, but I think it’s like learning the words, but not the music, of a song. So I thought I’d develop a separate list just focused on helping students learn about the cultures of different countries, and would love to hear additional suggestions. You might also be interested in The Best Travel Photographs Of The Year. Here are my choices for The Best Sites For Learning About The World’s Different Cultures (and are accessible to English Language Learners): Culture Crossing is a unique resource for information about different countries. What The World Eats is a TIME Magazine slideshow with family photos from around the world and the food they eat. Food Photos is a similar slideshow from NPR. Learn about Celebrations Around The World. EL Civics has a nice lesson on Clothes Around The World. U.S. via Pimsleur
Licences libres etressources éducatives Préconisées en 2002 par l’UNESCO(55) qui regroupe ses propres productions éducatives libres sur un site dédié(56), "les ressources éducatives libres(57) offrent une opportunité stratégique pour améliorer la qualité de l'éducation, faciliter le dialogue politique et partager les connaissances et le renforcement des capacités"(58). L’organisation a d’ailleurs publié en 2011 des recommandations pour l’utilisation des REL dans l’enseignement supérieur(59), suivies de la Déclaration de Paris sur les REL 2012 (60), lors du Congrès mondial sur les ressources libres. Elle en souligne le potentiel transformateur ainsi que la nécessité de concevoir des ressources répondant aux besoins diversifiés des élèves(61). Les REL sont également plusieurs fois citées dans le rapport Ambition numérique du CNNum, notamment en ce qui concerne la poursuite de l’interopérabilité dans l’Éducation nationale et la proposition des REL sous CC (p. 325).

OpenCourseWare Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. OpenCourseWare (OCW) désigne un projet destiné à mettre gratuitement en ligne des cours de niveau universitaire, de la même façon que les logiciels libres le sont. Généralement, les cours viennent avec une licence de distribution et de modification peu restrictive, souvent une licence Creative Commons[1]. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Il englobe le MIT OpenCourseWare (en), projet lancé en 2001 par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dans le but de mettre en ligne tout le matériel éducatif utilisé dans le cadre des cours donnés au MIT, qu'ils soient de niveau licence, maîtrise ou doctoral. Le MIT a rencontré deux obstacles majeurs lors de la mise en œuvre du projet : Déterminer tous les auteurs du matériel ;Convertir au format électronique ce matériel. Le personnel et les facultés ne se sont pas opposés au projet. Le contenu est variable suivant les cours. Liens externes[modifier | modifier le code]
