2. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational
materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open
license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can
legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range
from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests,
projects, audio, video and animation.
UNESCO, Paris

3. Open Educational Resources
(OER) are digital educational
resources which are openly
licensed for

8. USD

11. OERs are affordable and universally accessible teaching-learning
resources in order to enrich learning experiences;
OERs are easily sharable materials with the provisions of open
licensing systems like creative commons;
Updated materials which can be edited, augmented, customized,
combined and reformatted by anyone;
Amplify access of learning resources;
Assist with both teaching and learning @ free of cost or in less
expense.

12. E-learning OER Open Learning
Strictly being accessible using
technological tools which are either
web-based, web-distributed, or web-
capable.(Nicole,2003). ICT-enabled
teaching-learning-evaluation system
that includes learning materials in
digital form within the system.
E-learning may gear up OER but it is
not necessary that both are same.
OER supports open learning/open
education.
Learning objects that are available in
open mode and thereby can enhance
the E-learning systems (DLE and
VLE) as building block units.
Open learning is a path of education
that facilitates students a sort of
opportunities for sustainable, lifelong
learning which is centred on learners
specific needs. It needs systematic
analysis of assessment, students
supports for better execution of the
provision of Openness. it is not
limited to open educational
resources. It also includes open
technologies that facilitate
collaborative, flexible learning and the
open sharing of teaching practices
and new approaches to assessment,
accreditation and collaborative
learning (Cape Town Open Education
Declaration).

22.  Present scenario….
 Self-Learning Materials (SLMs)
 Study materials,
 PCP programs,
 evaluation systems
OEROER
Meta-Learning module , which is a kind of guide where learners are
directed to the scope and coverage of the respective topic, objective
of the study , a list of resources (available PDF files, Doc files, URLs
, video tutorials, class lectures, PPTs etc) where they can find
related information of that topic.

Steps Tasks
1. Design of course structure including its all units-
sections-subsections
Develop a topic based course on Information
Technology including four modules.
2. Identification of resources– related to target
courses
Text, Audio, Video, class lecture note, wikis, etc on IT
application
3. Parameters of selection for resource inclusion As per learners readability status;
Ease of accessibility and affordability;
CC-BY licensed materials
4. Selection of objects – audio, video and text CC-By licensed materials
5. Organization (tagging with existing curricula course-
paper-module-unit-section-subsection)
NSOU MLIS Study material structure
Organization of Module 1: Library Automation; Module
2: Database Management; Module 3: Operating System
and Programming1 and Module 4: Operating System
and Programming 2 consisting lessons, files, folders,
links etc.
6. Development of online learning portal Open Educational Resources
