Open educational resources (OER)

Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.

Teaching, learning and research materials in any medium, digital or otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions. Open licensing is built within the existing framework of intellectual property rights as defined by relevant international conventions and respects the authorship of the work.



Open Educational Resources (OER) are educational resources that are offered freely, are openly available to anyone, and, under some licences, allow others to reuse, adapt, and redistribute the resources with few or no restrictions. The best known of these are the Creative Commons (CC) licences, which provide legal mechanisms to ensure that people retain acknowledgement for their work while allowing it to be shared and which enable copyright holders, if they so wish, to restrict commercial activity or prevent people from adapting the work.
