The difference between: Open Access (OA) and OER.

The difference between:Open Course Ware (OCW) and OER.

OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course

OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course

OCW is a subset of OER

The difference between:eLearning and OER

OER and eLearning: a relationship.

eLearning are electronic instructional resources that are not necessarily Openly licensed.

OER materials are designed to be the physical or electronic building blocks of instructional resources and are always Openly licensed.

eLearning // OER - intersection

“Openly Licensed?”

comes from the definition...

the OER Definition:

“Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly

for anyone to use and under some licenses to remix, improve and redistribute.”

a bit of background..

Fall 2007, the Medical School commits to publishing all of its pre-clinical materials as OER.

All U-M health science deans pledge their support

And then from that small first step...

Health OER Disseminates educational materials to educators, physicians, clinicians, students, and self-learners throughout the world, free of charge.

Enables global access to our health science education materials: lectures, labs, and other course curricula.

Improves health education and health care delivery within the University, the State of Michigan, and worldwide.

Not just health-related
