What are open educational resources

Open educational resources (Open Educational Resources, OER) are materials for teaching (teaching), teaching (learning) and research (research) in any format and on any medium (digital or otherwise), which are in the public domain or protected by copyright, published under an open license, which allows free access, reuse, repurposing, adaptation and distribution in other ways without or with limited restrictions. Using open technical standards improves access and reuse potential.
OERs may include: full courses, course modules, open textbooks, educational programms, lectures, manuals for students, teaching notes, Homeworks, quizzes, laboratory and classroom classes, pedagogical materials, video, interactive materials, such as simulations or role-playing games, assessment tools and many other resources, Software, programs (including mobile applications) and any other educational and useful materials.
The term "OER" is not synonymous with online learning, e-learning or mobile learning. Lots of OER, except for digital use, can also be printed. ( Guidelines for open educational resources (OER) in higher education.)

Open Education Consortium

The Open Education Consortium is a global network of educational institutions, individuals and organizations, which support the approach to education, based on openness, including cooperation, innovation and collective development and the use of open educational materials. The open education consortium is non-profit, social organization, which is registered in the USA and works all over the world.
