Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OERs) are educational materials that are licensed in ways that allow us to legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them.

Whether you are a lecturer looking for resources for your online courses or a student needing images or background music for an assignment, the library’s Open Educational Resources guide is the place to start. OERs can be shared, downloaded and modified, as long as any licence conditions are followed and the original creator is credited.

The guide contains links to sites such as image search engines, subject-specific image collections, sound, podcast and video websites, and open software. There’s a wide range of open professional development courses on offer, as well as a growing number of open ebooks, textbooks and journals.

You can find the guide by clicking on the Guide tab on the library homepage and searching for OER.
