Coming Soon BackgroundOpen Educational Resources (OERs) are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and, under some licenses, to re-mix, improve and redistribute. The term Open Educational Resources (OERs) was first adopted at UNESCO's 2002 Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware (OCW) for Higher Education in developing countries. Since then, several organizations have ventured into this previously uncharted domain, starting with the MIT Open Courseware Initiative, which has given rise to several spin-offs. From Universia, an OCW Consortium of over 700 Latin American Universities, to China's Open Resource Education (CORE) and Japan's OCW Alliance and the AVU Pilot of OCW Materials at the University of Nairobi in Kenya and Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, the expansion of OERs is a reality that necessitates further exploration through research and networks.
