Open Educational Resources
“... are digital learning resources offered online freely and openly to teachers, educators, students and independent learners in order to be used, shared, combined, adapted,
and expanded in teaching, learning and research.” (OECD 2011)
“... are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium that reside in the public domain and have been
released under an open licence that permits access, use, repurposing, reuse and redistribution by others with
no or limited restrictions.”(UNESCO 2011)

”3. Expand Access to Educational Resources through Open Licensing and Technology”
”Open educational resources are an investment in sustainable human development; they have the potential to increase access to high-quality education and reduce the cost of educational opportunities around the world. Open educational resources can expand access to key educational materials, enabling the domestic and international communities to attain skills and more easily access meaningful learning opportunities.”
”Building on that momentum, the United States will openly license more Federal grantsupported education materials and resources, making them widely and freely available.”

”Key potentials of OERThree key potentials of OER have been highlighted in this report:
• Digital technologies have become ubiquitous in daily life and OER can harness the new possibility afforded by digital technology to address common educational challenges.
• OER are a catalyst for social innovation, which can facilitate changed forms of interaction between teachers, learners and knowledge.
• OER have an extended lifecycle beyond their original design and purpose. The process of distribution, adaptation and iteration can improve access to high-quality, context-appropriate educational materials for all.”

”TOWARDS INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE QUALITY EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING FOR ALL”
Sustainable Development Goal 4 Education 2030
Target 3, point 43.:A well-established, properly-regulated tertiary education system supported by technology, Open Educational Resources (OERs) and distance education modalities can increase access, equity, quality and relevance, and narrow the gap between what is taught at tertiary education institutions and what economies and societies demand. The provision of tertiary education should be progressively free, in line with existing international agreements.
Framework for Action Education 2030:
http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/resources/online-materials/single-view/news/the_global_education_community_adopts_and_launches_education_2030_framework_for_action/#.VmYS9OPqhBc
Adopted 4 November 2015.
In Norway, one of the most connected countries in the world, if a professor want to use OER in public health for nurses - she will find nothing or very few open resources, and no organized connected, collaborative opportunities.
If the same professor in France engaged, she would find more than 200 licensed education resources regarding public health for nurses, all linked to the higher education curricula. In fact, a student in France can use collaborative free quality assured educational material for her grades, e.g. bachelor and master within the equational system, all made possible and digitalized by collaborative thematic universities in a connected French educational system.
