📚 OER: Open Educational Resources 📚

I first heard of this thing at TESOL 2023 in Portland (Oregon) because I attended a talk by two people who created an OER textbook on academic writing.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.

Here is the link to the OER textbook the speakers I listened to created. It's called "Reading, Writing, Research, and Reasoning: An Advanced ESL Text."

Have you heard of or even used OERs?❔
