    Open Educational Resources (OER)

    Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching materials that are openly licensed for anyone to use, adapt, and share. These resources can take various formats such as books, articles, videos, lesson plans, tests, software, and other educational tools.

    Lecturers, students, educational institutions, and policymakers may each have their own reasons for working with open educational resources. These include collaborating on sources and materials to improve quality, making knowledge accessible to a wider audience, developing professionally by learning from others’ contributions, and practical benefits such as saving time and reducing costs. The platform Surf edusources offers an introductory module on the possibilities of Open Educational Resources.

    Support from the University Library

    The University Library (UB) provides an overview of specific search engines and portals you can use to find open educational resources, along with background information on how to use Open Educational Resources. Copying, editing, and distributing materials is permitted under certain conditions for open educational resources. Read more about working with Creative Commons.
