- What is the Open Educational Resources Topic Page?
The term "Open Educational Resources" was first adopted at UNESCO's 2002 Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and re-use for teaching, learning and research. This site will serve as a freely accessible venue for the aggregation and sharing of OERs worldwide. Our goal with this service is to support efforts to equalize access to education, and to improve life chances for people in developing countries.- What content and services does this site offer?
Here you'll find a clearinghouse for a wide range of OERs including:
Learning Content (full courses, courseware, content modules, learning objects, collections and journals)
Tools (software to support the development, use, re-use and delivery of learning content including searching and organization of content, content and learning management systems, content development tools, and on-line learning communities)
Implementation Resources (intellectual property licenses to promote open publishing of materials, design principles of best practice, and localization of content)
