Accessibility Statement

For OERs to be truly open, they must be accessible. In the same way that a free resource does not mean the resource is open, a resource is not open just because it is available. When OER projects are accessible, they become more:

  • inclusive, accounting for different methods, mediums, and modes of engaging with the content
  • sustainable, delivering content when tools and technologies break down
  • sharable, expanding reach and impact
