Brazosport College students require support with budgeting their school expenses and instructional staff can assist in this effort through free/low cost course resources. To assist in this effort, the BC Library prepared this OER guide to help our instructors integrate OER items into the curriculum. The resources in this LibGuide represent just a sampling of what might be available in your discipline or specific information need. We invite interested individuals or departments to meet with us to discuss OER possibilities. Schedule a F2F or Zoom OER consultation with Brent Cooper.
Open educational resources (OER) refers to educational resource materials for teaching and learning that can be utilized by instructors and students for free. These resources are typically published without a traditional copyright so that instructors and students of any institution can use the materials in multiple ways and over multiple distributions without paying to do so.
The terms "open content" and "open educational resources" describe any copyrightable work (traditionally excluding software, which is described by other terms like "open source") that is either (1) in the public domain or (2) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities:
