Abstract

Open educational resources (OER) has varying explanations, but its broadest definitions include materials offered freely and openly to use and adapt for teaching, learning, development, and research. An open educational resource must have an open license following the 5Rs: retain (make, own, and control your copy of the content), reuse (use the content as-is), revise (adapt, adjust, modify, improve, or alter the content), remix (combine the original or revised content with other OER to create something new), redistribute (share your copies of the original content, revisions or remixes with others). With such open educational content, one can learn from a growing pool of knowledge for free. In this chapter, the authors present the rationale behind the open educational resources (OER), types of OER, the key players, opportunities, and challenges adopting it, and the future scope.
