About the Book

This book provides a selective collection of contemporary open access journal articles on the use and implementation of Open Educational Resources. Open Educational Resources (OER) have traditionally been defined as digital materials that may be used for teaching, learning, and research and made available "free" through open licenses. More recently, there has been a movement to broaden this definition. Many experts now believe that a more precise definition of OER impinges on the range of views regarding fundamental questions associated with interpretations of the meaning of the "freedom to learn." This movement towards a broader view of OER by some education leaders and experts, has presented many operational opportunities, as well as challenges. This book explores the more recent academic research on the opportunities and challenges presented by OER to educational institutions, with emphasis on how these relate to those who are in most need of these resources (particularly in developing countries). In addition to discussing examples of successful ways to access and share resources of open educational projects, it will attempt to address what is meant by 'open', and the number of ways leading institutions are becoming more open and innovative.
