Origin of OERcirca 2002
• Open Educational Resources (OER) – free access globally
“The open provision of educational resources, enabled by information and communication
technologies, for consultation, use and adaptation by a community of users for non-commercial
purposes”
“Digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and
reuse for teaching, learning and research”

“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 …”
