Open EducationAL Resources (OER)

OER are consistent with the University Vision for Education, in that they can contribute to an inclusive digital learning environment that is student-centric and enables all students to engage effectively in their learning 

OER provide unrestricted access for students before, during and beyond their time at the University, and for the wider community regardless of their location

Adapting existing OER or creating new OER is an opportunity for teaching staff to showcase their work

By making your resource openly accessible, you provide other educators with a resource that can be readily adapted to their (educational, linguistic) needs, further enhancing your impact

OER lend themselves particularly well to regular updates, and the publication of revised editions

OER can counteract rising textbook costs and expensive and unsustainable commercial business models
