Are OERs always online resources?
Browse:
Like the majority of educational resources these days, most open educational resources (OERs) are “born” digital. However, many can be made available to students in both digital and printed formats.
Of course, digital OERs are easier to share, modify, and redistribute, but being digital is not what makes something an OER or not.
When creating physical copies of OERs you need to be careful to keep the licence information with the copy, so people know what they may do with it.
OERs are a potential solution for minimising student textbook costs.
Find OERs to support your teaching or learning, or contact your Liaison Librarian to discuss available options.
