Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning resources that have been openly licensed, and can be used for free. For OER, clear permission has been provided up front so that school staff, and anyone else, can use these resources to best suit their teaching aims, as well as the needs of their learners. Globally, educators are working to make, share and promote OER. The OER Guidance for Schools was commissioned by Leicester City Council, and is part of the DigiLit Leicester project. The Guidance aims to support school staff in understanding and making use of open licensing, and creating and sharing their own OER.
