OER Recommendations |
The draft Recommendation text has been prepared by a group of open education experts from UNESCO, researchers and practitioners from all world regions. The OER Recommendation builds on the Ljubljana OER Action Plan, a product of the 2nd World OER Congress, 18-20 September 2017.
Existing UNESCO OER definition | Open Educational Resources (OERs) are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions. |
Proposed updated UNESCO OER definition | Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium (text, digital or other formats) that reside in the public domain or have been released under a [standard, interoperable (not custom)] open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others. |
