Open Educational Resources (OER) and NROER

Understand

Open Educational Resources (OER) = teaching, learning and research materials in any format that are in the public domain or released under an open licence, permitting no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution.

Rule

  • The term ‘OER’ was adopted at UNESCO's 2002 Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries.

  • UNESCO adopted the Recommendation on OER in 2019.

  • NROER = National Repository of Open Educational Resources — an initiative of the Ministry of Education (then MHRD) and CIET-NCERT; a national store of digital resources for school and teacher education.

Remember

Sign of OER: ‘open licence’ + ‘permission to use, adapt and share free’. Being merely ‘free to view’ is not enough.

Example

A storybook under CC BY: a teacher may translate it into the local language and hand it out in class, crediting the original author → this is OER.

Common mistake

Taking every free item on the internet as OER. Copyrighted material may look free but cannot be adapted and shared.
