Why Open Education Matters? Open Education and the Future! David Wiley - TEDxNYED	Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. They include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge." - Hewlett Foundation What can I do with OER?

Reuse - Use the content in a wide range of ways (in class, study group, website, video, anthology, in software). Revise - Adapt, adjust, customize, or alter the content (translate, modify, reorganize, change formats). Remix - Combine original or revised content with other material to create something new (mashup, anthology, package).
