What?
• Though there is no exact definition of OER some of the popular definitions
are……
• 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. (Wikipedia)
• “OER are digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-
learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research.” OER includes learning
content, software tools to develop, use and distribute content, and implementation
resources such as open licences.(OECD) - Organisation for Economic Co-operation
And Development
Concept of OER
The world’s knowledge is a public good
Technology in general and the World Wide Web in particular provides an
extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge
