Innovation in Canada - Alberta
Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. Although som epeople consider the use of an open file format to be an essential characteristic of OER, this is not a univeraklly acknowledged requirement.
