The document discusses open educational resources (OER), which are freely available educational materials that can be legally downloaded, edited, and shared. It states that we now live in an age where information is abundant and accessible to all for the first time in history, and that OER are key to improving education opportunities for students by better serving their needs. However, it notes that not all people have equal access to take advantage of OER, such as those without internet access, computers, libraries, or materials in their own language.
