Open Educational Resources (OER) are versatile materials that can transform the way teachers and students can engage with course subjects. Effectively using OER requires a range of skills, such as being able to recognise them, searching for them, using them in your course, creating them for others, and sharing them with the world (see also the UNESCO competency framework, licensed under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 International license, for more information).

On the related pages, accessible via the side menu or the links below, we provide a number of guides that outline what OER and copyright are, why OER may be useful to you, how you can effectively search for them, how you can use OER in the classroom, how you can adapt or create OER, and how you can license and share your own teaching materials as OER. We hope the information provided here encourages you to engage with OER. If you have additional questions, you can always read more out our support services on our webpage, or reach out to the OER support team at: oer-library@rug.nl.
