What are 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 repurposing by others.” The OER combination of “free (to access) + permissions (to reuse and adapt)” lowers student costs and empowers innovative pedagogical approaches by faculty.
