Open Educational Resources

Go to the new Development Gateway portal.

The Development Gateway (DG) has opened a new facet describing and providing links to open educational resources. It invites people to join as members of the community forming around this topic.

Open Educational Resources (OERs) are digitized materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and re-use for teaching, learning and research.

The new DG community page provides a clearinghouse for a wide range of OERs including Learning Content, Tools, and Implementation Resources. Content for this site will be aggregated by the African Virtual University and Utah State University's Center for Open and Sustainable Learning. The site is new, and its resource base is planned to grow,

Learning Subjects and related materials for this site are to be classified using the Dutch Basic Classification™.
