Open educational resources (OERs) are and always will be free, but not all free resources are OERs.
Free resources may be temporarily free or may be restricted from use and/or require payment of a fee at some time in the future. Free-but-not-open resources may not be modified, adapted, or redistributed without obtaining special permission from the copyright holder.
OERs may offer "freedoms" beyond "no cost", such as the freedom to make adaptations or create copies in different formats. You will need to check the conditions of the Open license to see what kind of use is allowed.
We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and acknowledge Traditional Owners of the lands where our staff and students, live, learn and work.
