More Than Just Free: The What and the Why of Open Educational Resources (OER)

Open Educational Resources (OER) are course materials that are freely available and openly licensed. But it's more than free online content. OER can be adopted “as-is” or adapted and remixed as needed to meet your specific course learning outcomes.

Using OER in your courses can save students money, improve access to required course materials and give you more control over the content covered by these materials.

In just 20 minutes, Instructional Technology's Laura Lucas and Mike Weston will explain the potential benefits of OER for you and your students.
