What do we mean by OER?
Our understanding of Open Educational Resources is grounded in established notions of openly licensed content. We have a specific focus on freedoms afforded by openly licensing content (allowing “The 5 Rs”: retain, reuse, revise, remix, redistribute) and the degree to which design, development and distribution accounts for equity and openness.

What do we mean by OEP?Open Educational Practices are usually understood as approaches to teaching and facilitation using technology to support learning in the context of high quality OER.
The OEPS project has found it helpful to extend notions of Open Educational Practice beyond Learning Design into the nature of the interface between the provider and the world and the social practices that mediate between providers, partners and learners.

as a way of breaking down barriers and opening up new opportunities for lifelong learning
• However, the evidence is that the impact of OER on lifelong learning is limited
