Open Educational Resources (OER) Service

Open Educational Resources (OER) are any type of educational materials that are available under an open license, free for others to reuse and remix in their learning and teaching. 

The OER Service underpins the University of Edinburgh's OER policy, providing support for staff and students to use and create OERs and open knowledge in their learning and teaching practice.
