Join for the online training on “Open Educational Resources (OER) and Licenses,” organized by CIET-NCERT in collaboration with the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) from July 15-19, 2024.
How Can Open Educational Resources Transform Education?
NCERT has consistently supported the transformative potential of Open Educational Resources (OER) in modern education. These resources can significantly enhance accessibility and equity by providing free, high-quality learning materials.
They can be freely adapted and shared, ensuring that all students, regardless of their socio-economic background, have access to the same educational resources.
What Are Open Educational Resources?
In a 2002 conference, UNESCO defined Open Educational Resources (OER) as “… learning, teaching, and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright.
These materials have been released under an open license, permitting no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation, and redistribution by others.”
Why Are OER Important for NEP 2020?
The democratisation of knowledge through OER promotes a more inclusive learning environment. This makes OER immensely significant in the implementation of NEP 2020 across all sectors of education in India.
How Does CEMCA Support OER?
CEMCA focuses on assisting governments and institutions in expanding the scale, efficiency, and quality of learning. They use multiple media in open, distance, and technology-enhanced learning.
CEMCA has championed the cause of OER since the beginning of the movement. This training is part of their ongoing effort to raise awareness and knowledge about OER.
