Today

• Open Education is often associated with the use of Open Educational Resources

What are OER?

“OERs are teaching, learning or research materials that are in the public domain or released with an open license that allows for free use, adaptation, and distribution” (UNESCO, 2012)

“Open Educational Resources are

digital learning resources offered

online (…) freely

and openly

to teachers, educators,

students, and independent

learners in order to be

used, shared,

combined, adapted, and

expanded in teaching,

learning and research.” (OECD,

2012)
