Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials (usually digital) that at distributed at no cost under an open copyright license.

OER can include:

• Textbooks
• Presentations
• Lesson Plans
• Entire Courses
• Videos
• Study Guides
• Interactive Media

What makes OER unique from other learning resources are the Five Rs. These are:

• Retain: The right to make, own, and control copies of content
• Reuse: The right to use the content in a variety of ways (in class, on Canvas, in a video, etc.)
• Revise: The right to modify, adapt, or alter the content
• Remix: The right to combine the content (original or revised) with other open content to create a new resource
• Redistribute: The right to share the original content, your revisions, and your remixes with others
