What are Open Educational Resources (OERs)?OERs are resources available at little or no cost that can be used for teaching, learning, or research. Some examples are textbooks, course readings, articles, journals, course packs, quizzes, streaming videos, and virtually any other material that is used for educational purchases. Using digital OERs saves paper. OERs help keep the high cost of education down.
OERs are free, ready-to-use content for your classes. Creators are free to Retain rights, Reuse content, Remix content, Revise content, and Redistribute content.
