COL Open Educational Resources (OER)
COL encourages the development and sharing of open learning/distance education knowledge, resources and technologies.
COL has made the use of OER an important component in all aspects of its work. COL has taken a holistic and process-oriented approach to OER, emphasing the delivery of products - mostly in the form of course materials.
COL, in collaboration with UNESCO, launched the initiative 'Taking OER beyond the OER community: Policy and Capacity' that supports governments and institutions through policy support, advocacy and capacity building, to introduce open educational practices (including OER) into teaching and learning (http://oerworkshop.weebly.com/).
