This document discusses open educational practices (OEP) and resources (OER). It defines OEP as educational practices that promote equity and openness through openly licensed content which allows users the 5 Rs - retain, reuse, revise, remix, redistribute. OEP aims to develop practices that increase access to education for marginalized groups. It provides examples of websites where OER can be found and emphasizes the importance of attributing sources using the TASL method (Title, Author, Source, License). Overall, the document advocates for sharing and improving educational resources through open and collaborative practices.

2. Our understanding of Open Educational Resources is
grounded in established notions of openly licensed content.
We have a specific focus on freedoms afforded by openly
licensing content (allowing “The 5 Rs”: retain, reuse, revise,
remix, redistribute) and the degree to which design
development and distribution accounts for equity and
openness.

3. We think of Open Educational Practices as those educational
practices that are concerned with and promote equity and
openness. Our understanding of ‘open’ builds on the freedoms
associated with “the 5 Rs” of OER, promoting a broader sense
of open, emphasising social justice, and developing practices
that open up opportunities for those distanced from
education.

10. A quick and easy way to remember what
information you need to include when
reusing resources is by remembering an
acronym: TASL. This stands for T(itle),
A(uthor), S(ource), L(icense). TASL tells
you what you need to include to ensure
that you are appropriately
acknowledging the source of the OER
that you are using.
