# OER (Open Educational Resources)

**Open Educational Resources (OER)** are teaching, learning, and research materials that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation, and redistribution.

Within the framework of [[digitale-lehre]] at the Universität Greifswald, OER are highlighted as a key component of the digitalization of teaching. The legal application of OER is detailed in the practice guide authored by Dr. Till Kreutzer (2017), which addresses the intersection of copyright law and open content in an academic setting.
