Open Educational Resources (OER) are free or low cost materials that have less restrictive copyright requirements than traditional “for profit” items. Most OER use Creative Commons licensing which allows the reuse and often the revising, remixing and sharing of the material as long as certain license requirements are met, such as giving credit to the original creator.
This site is designed as a starting point to help faculty find and learn more about different types of OER materials they can use in their courses.

This short video from the Why Open Education Matters website shows some of the benefits of using OER in your classes.
