Open Educational Resources (OER), or Open Learning Resources, are free digital learning resources that are freely available to all or subject to an open licence. For higher education, we refer to edusources. OER Commons and Merlot are international repositories.
The open licence Creative Commons (most common) clearly states how you may use, modify or share material. This allows videos (knowledge clips or webinars), podcasts, e-learnings or Open Textbooks to be used, modified and shared without cost or special permission.
Not sure yet which licence you need? Then do a licence check! At the end of the check you can simply copy the code and place it on the title page and/or copyright page of your work or presentation.
Do you not yet have a community in your field where you can upload material? No problem!
You can easily register your community by filling in this form and sending it to info [at] educources.nl (info[at]educources[dot]nl). Once your community is active, you can easily collaborate and share material with colleagues in your field.
Do you prefer some extra support? Then we can handle the application process and upload your material for you. Contact the Open Education Team at openeducation [at] ru.nl (openeducation[at]ru[dot]nl), and together we will see how we can create a community from which everyone can benefit.
