What is OER?
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 and re-purposing by others.
The most significant barrier to wider adoption of OER remains the time and effort required to find, evaluate, and use it effectively.
