What are Open Educational Resources (OERs)?
• “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 or re-purposing by others”. (The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation) http://www.hewlett.org/Programs/Education/OER
• Covers several different types of resources: – learning content (courses, learning objects)– tools (software)– intellectual property licenses

Activity
• Think about how you might incorporate OERs into one of your modules
OR• Think about how you might develop an OER from
your existing material
• How might this enhance your material?• What support might you need to achieve this?
