At Villa College, we are dedicated to expanding access to high-quality educational materials through Open Educational Resources (OER). Our OER guidelines and teaching resources are designed to support educators, students, and self-learners by providing free and openly licensed educational content that can be adapted, shared, and used to enhance teaching and learning experiences.
OER are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available and openly licensed for anyone to use, adapt, and distribute. These resources include textbooks, course materials, lesson plans, videos, assessments, and more. By removing cost barriers and promoting sharing and collaboration, OER empower educators and learners to access and create educational content tailored to their needs.
We encourage the use of Creative Commons licenses for all OER. These licenses provide legal frameworks that allow creators to specify how their work can be used by others, ensuring that content remains free and open while protecting the rights of the original creators.
