Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation.

Open Educational Resources

(OER) are digital educational

resources which are openly

licensed for

USD

OERs are affordable and universally accessible teaching-learning resources in order to enrich learning experiences;

OERs are easily sharable materials with the provisions of open

licensing systems like creative commons;

Updated materials which can be edited, augmented, customized,

combined and reformatted by anyone;

Amplify access of learning resources;

Assist with both teaching and learning @ free of cost or in less

expense.

E-learning OER Open Learning

Strictly being accessible using technological tools which are either web-based, web-distributed, or web-capable.(Nicole,2003). ICT-enabled teaching-learning-evaluation system that includes learning materials in digital form within the system.

E-learning may gear up OER but it is not necessary that both are same.

OER supports open learning/open education.

Learning objects that are available in open mode and thereby can enhance the E-learning systems (DLE and VLE) as building block units.

Open learning is a path of education that facilitates students a sort of opportunities for sustainable, lifelong learning which is centred on learners specific needs. It needs systematic analysis of assessment, students supports for better execution of the provision of Openness. it is not limited to open educational resources. It also includes open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices and new approaches to assessment, accreditation and collaborative learning (Cape Town Open Education Declaration).
