"OER are teaching, learning and research
resources that reside in the public domain or

property license that permits their free use
or re-purposing by others. Open educational
resources include full courses, course

The four ‘R’s of OER
Reuse – Use the work verbatim, just exactly as you
found it
Rework – Alter or transform the work so that it better
meets your needs
Remix – Combine the (verbatim or altered work) with
other works to better meet your needs
Redistribute – Share the verbatim work, the reworked
work, or the remixed work with others

27. Way 1
Enhancing an existing
course or offering by
adding OER
In this case adding OER to the
current course may help not only
teachers and teacher educators, but
their learners too.

28. Way 2
Improving existing content
by replacing the existing
materials with the OER
The replacement of the existing materials may
help in arousing the interest of the learners or
helping out with the conflict management in the
mechanism of dealing with the outdated and
insignificant material.

29. Way 3
Creating new part of
materials by using or re-
purposing OER
For the new content, teacher can develop OER
materials, or use the existing OER or use the
material generated for some other purpose by
others as per his/her specific needs.

30. Way 4
Creating new courses by
using, re-using and
repurposing OER
This can help them in creating easily the
new courses considering latest
advancement- technical and content-
based.

31. Way 5
Getting students to
generate OER
When new OERs will be generated,
these can be discussed in open for
feedback and further refinement
before distribution at mass level.
