Open Educational Resources (OER for short) are educational materials that are freely accessible and can be edited, adapted, and shared without violating copyrights. This succeeds because so-called "open licenses" or public domain materials are used for this purpose. This lecture introduces the concept of Open Educational Resources for students and teachers at universities. 

OER are not only an important educational policy issue for international associations such as UNESCO, OER are also part of the call for "Open Science". The lecture will also show and train where OER can be found and published. Open licenses such as CC-0, CC-BY and CC BY-4.0 will be explained. 

The course is organized by the Graz University of Technology as part of the Unite! University Alliance.
