Open educational resources

Open educational resources (OER)^[1] are teaching, learning, and research materials intentionally created and licensed to be free for the end user to own, share, and in most cases, modify.^[2]^[3] The term "OER" describes publicly accessible materials and resources for any user to use, re-mix, improve, and redistribute under some licenses.^[4] These are designed to reduce accessibility barriers by implementing best practices in teaching and to be adapted for local unique contexts.^[5]^[6]

The development and promotion of open educational resources is often motivated by a desire to provide an alternative or enhanced educational paradigm.^[7]
