Open Educational Resources (OER) refer to freely accessible and openly licensed educational materials that can be used, shared, and adapted by educators and learners. These resources include a wide range of materials such as textbooks, lectures, lesson plans, quizzes, and multimedia content that are available in the public domain or under open licenses like Creative Commons. The key principles of OER are to remove barriers to access, promote collaboration, and allow for the free use and adaptation of educational content. OER plays a crucial role in supporting affordable and equitable access to education, fostering innovation in teaching and learning, and promoting a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration in the education community.
