Open Education Resources (OER) are “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open Educational Resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge,” according to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. With appropriate licensing and an eye for finding materials and judging their quality and appropriateness for individual teachers’ classrooms, OER can have a huge impact on student learning. Teachers using OER are able to find free materials appropriately licensed and then mix materials from various sources to fit the needs of their students. In some cases, teachers may wish to add to or alter OER to create a new resource and then “publish” that resource for others to use. This spirit of sharing and improving OER is imbedded throughout the OER-using education community.
