#OCL4Ed
Open Educational 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 or 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 (Atkins, Brown, &
Hammond 2007).

6. OER Definiton 2
Open Educational Resources (OER) are materials used to
support education that may be freely accessed, reused,
modified and shared by anyone (Downes 2011).

7. OER Definition 3
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning,
and research materials in any medium that reside in the
public domain or have been released under an open
license that permits their free use and re-purposing by

8. OER Definition 3
UNESCO defined OER as material used to support education
that may be freely accessed, reused, modified and shared by
anyone (2011/07/14).
The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment process, facilitated by
technology in which various types of stakeholders are able to interact,
collaborate, create, and use materials and pedagogic practices, that are
freely available, for enhancing access, reducing costs, and improving the
quality of education and learning at all levels (Kanwar, Balasubramanian &
Umar 2010).

29. What it all means
There can be no doubt that HE is the key to a
well-qualified workforce. And a well-qualified
workforce makes for a stronger, productive
economy. But it all starts with access. If
students are still forced to operate in ancient
educational model, how can they be expected
to participate successfully in the modern
market and society.

30. Monitoring the impact of OER on a
course and measuring its success
• How will you suggest you can
measure success (quality) for
learners in your course using
OER?
• What kind of impact will you
say OER can make for your
course and for your learners?
