Open Educational Resources (OER) are defined as "teaching, learning, and research resources that are free of cost and access barriers, and which also carry legal permission for open use. Generally, this permission is granted by use of an open license (for example, Creative Commons licenses) which allows anyone to freely use, adapt and share the resource -- anytime, anywhere. 'Open" permissions are typically defined in terms of the '5Rs': users are free to Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix and Redistribute these educational materials." -- As defined by SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition)
There are many reasons instructors might want to use OER:
