The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) defines Open Educational Resources (OER) as ‘materials offered freely and openly to use and adapt for teaching, learning, development and research’.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner. Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.
