The document discusses revitalizing the open educational resources (OER) ecosystem in Malaysia. It outlines several strategies to achieve this, including having the government establish national OER policies and repositories. Educational institutions are encouraged to develop OER policies and recognize faculty contributions to OER. Private sectors could help by providing access to educational applications and releasing print materials digitally. Teachers, librarians, students and disabled/rural communities all have roles to play in promoting OER adoption and skills development. The overall goal is to leverage OER to democratize education and provide flexible, personalized learning options.
