What are Open Resources?:What are Open Resources?:Open Educational Resources (OER) are "free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching, learning, research, and other purposes.” They are part of a wider movement to provide alternatives to the restrictions of traditional publishing models. Open Resources is a term that can also include Open Access journals/publishing, Open Data, and refer to Open Pedagogy. There are meaningful distinctions between these terms, but the word "open" is simply meant to indicate that the materials are free of use, and released with an open license for shareable use. In short, all of the resources listed on this page are 100% free - and you can share them widely. Feel free to reach out! For more information, check out our Research Guide on OER, here. If you have questions about this, please feel free to set up a consultation to discuss further. We're happy to talk more about your OER interests and needs, whether for teaching, learning, or creating new scholarship.
