Open Educational Resources for Teaching and Learning at TUS

Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) can be defined as: “learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.” 1 This compilation of OER was curated for teaching staff in the Technological University of the Shannon: Midland and Midwest (TUS), Co. Westmeath, Ireland, by library staff. This book provides a selection of teaching and learning OER, primarily OER published within the last five years, which we deem to be of high quality.
