Open Educational Resources Initiative

Free. Flexible. For Everyone.

With open educational resources (OER), you can access and share free, high-quality learning materials. Explore how OER can support academic success, reduce textbook costs and enhance teaching and learning across campus.

Mission

Open educational resources (OER) are free, openly licensed materials you can use for teaching, learning or research. They include textbooks, videos, quizzes and other tools, available to anyone at no cost. Because they can be revised and shared, OER give faculty the freedom to tailor content to their courses. For students, that means lower costs and immediate access to course materials. Whether you’re teaching, studying or supporting instruction, OER make education more affordable, flexible and accessible for everyone.
