Open educational materials: Open Educational Resources (OER)

You can use open educational resources (OER) for your teaching or make your materials available as OER yourself.

These are

• Media in any form (texts, images, videos, sound recordings or entire courses),
• which are available under open licenses (usually Creative Commons licenses),
• can be freely used, adapted and shared depending on the license,
• to promote an open and inclusive learning culture.

Comprehensive information on the topic of OER can be found clearly presented on the OERinfo | Informationsstelle Open Educational Resources page

You can get a quick overview via our OER concept handout
