A Brief Overview of Open Educational Resources (OER)
OER are characterized by the “5R permissions,” which grant the ability to:
- reuse
- revise
- remix
- retain; and
- redistribute
One important implication of these permissions is that OER are freely available (i.e. without an accompanying need to pay royalties or licence fees).
