What is OER…
“Digitised materials offered freely and openly … to use and re-use” (Hylén, 2006)
Open Licensing | Open Access | Open Format | Open Software
(Schaffert & Geser, 2008)
“Openness is not like a light switch that is either ‘on’ or ‘off’. Rather, it is like a dimmer switch, with varying degrees of openness”
(Hilton III, Wiley, Stein, & Johnson, 2010).
