This document provides an overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) from a workshop for BCIT part-time studies. It defines OER as freely accessible teaching, learning and research resources that can be fully used and shared digitally. Examples of OER include open textbooks, videos, course materials and software. Research presented found that student achievement and outcomes were the same or better when using OER compared to commercial textbooks. OER quality was evaluated in studies and found to be about 50% as good, 35% superior, and 15% inferior to traditional resources. The document discusses OER licensing, notably Creative Commons, and provides lists of open education repositories and resources that instructors can use and adapt for their courses.
