2. The Vision
… At the heart of the movement toward Open Educational
Resources is the simple and powerful idea that the world's
knowledge is a public good
… and that technology in general and the WorldwideWeb in
particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for
everyone to share, use, and reuse it.
Hewlett
Foundation

3. • The term "open educational resources" was first
adopted at UNESCO's 2002 Forum on the Impact of
Open Courseware for Higher Education in
Developing Countries
• Since then, it has been gaining popularity because it
is in line with the global movement on openness:
open education, open source software, open
licensing, etc.
What are OER?

4. OER Defined
William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
• 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.
• OER includes full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks,
streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or
techniques used to support access to knowledge.
OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development)
• "digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students,
and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research.
• OER includes learning content, software tools to develop, use, and
distribute content, and implementation resources such as open
lisences."

5. UNESCO
• "teaching, learning and research materials in any medium, digital or
otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been released under
an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and
redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.
The Wikieducator OER Handbook
• “… educational resources (lesson plans, quizzes, syllabi, instructional
modules, simulations, etc.) that are freely available for use, reuse,
adaptation, and sharing."
OER Defined

6. The Cape Town Open Education Declaration (2007)
• OER should be freely shared through open lisences which facilitate use,
revision, translation, improvement and sharing by anyone.
• Resources should be published in formats that facilitate both use and
editing, and that accommodate a diversity of technical platforms.
• Whenever possible, they should also be available in formats that are
accessible to people with disabilities and people who do not yet have
access to the Internet.“
Commitment of Educators

7. 2012 OER Paris Declaration
• Emphasizing that the term Open Educational Resources (OER) was
coined at UNESCO’s 2002 Forum on Open Courseware
• OER refers to “teaching, learning and research materials in any medium,
digital or otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been
released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use,
adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.
• Open licensing is built within the existing framework of intellectual
property rights as defined by relevant international conventions and
respects the authorship of the work”
