Open Educational Resources (OER) Engage and Energize Students
Open Educational Resources (OER) are guided by the idea that high-quality educational materials should be available to everyone.
OER are educational materials—everything from a single lesson plan to an entire textbook—that save students and teachers money because they are free to use, customize, and share.
OER are openly licensed, which makes it easy to personalize materials and infuse them with fresh, relevant content.
