Create 3.1.1 Open Educational Resources and Creative Commons

Open Education Resource Defined

When I think of Open Educational Resources I think of those images and other forms of multimedia that can be used without getting in trouble. This may be a little to general or broad of an explanation but this is what comes to mind. Open Education Resources or OER are actually materials that are free and open to be used for teaching, research,  and learning, and is publicly available for reuse and sharing with others.

With OER there are various Creative Common licenses some that will allow you to use or not use commercially. Those that allow you to modify them or build upon thme. Those that truly are open for you to do whatever you would like, and those that are restricted, in which the licenses do not allow for any type of use or modifications. With Creative Commons sharing creative projects allow others to have access to tools and resources to be used so everyone can grow.
