Open Educational Resources (OERs) are educational materials that have free and perpetual permissions, meaning that instructors can retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute them without fear of violating copyright permissions. OER can include textbooks, streaming videos, software, courses, recordings, or many other tools and techniques used for instruction. The Universities of Wisconsin promote and support the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) across all UW universities through consortia memberships, professional development, individual stipends, and by supporting campus level initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
