Open Educational Resources (OER) are openly licensed, free resources for use in teaching. This means that in addition to being cost-free, the user is free to keep, modify, combine, reuse, and share the resource.
When you teach, rather than selecting costly textbooks and workbooks that your district or students must purchase, OER materials can provide free, customizable texts. OER lesson plans, labs, and interactive resources at many grade levels.
