OER stands for Open Educational Resources, which are freely accessible and openly licensed educational materials.

The primary goal of OER is to promote open access to education by providing free and openly licensed educational materials.

Research articles are typically not considered OER as they are usually protected by copyright and may require a subscription or payment to access.

OER offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, accessibility, flexibility, and the ability to adapt and customize materials to suit specific needs.

Quality control is often cited as the most significant challenge associated with OER, as there is a need to ensure that OER materials are accurate, reliable, and pedagogically sound.

The Apache License is not commonly used for OER, as it is primarily intended for software licensing.

Remixing refers to the process of adapting or modifying OER materials to suit specific needs or contexts.

Using OER typically reduces the cost of education and increases access to educational materials, leading to improved learning outcomes. It does not typically increase the workload for students.

Open sharing refers to the practice of openly sharing educational resources with others, allowing them to access, use, and modify the materials freely.

Coursera is an online learning platform that offers courses and programs from various institutions. While it may host some OER, it is not primarily a platform for sharing and accessing OER.

The primary role of an OER repository is to store and organize OER in a systematic and accessible manner.

Summative assessment is typically used to evaluate student learning at the end of a course or unit, while peer review, self-assessment, and formative assessment are commonly used in OER to provide feedback and improve learning throughout the learning process.

OER evaluation refers to the process of assessing the quality and effectiveness of OER materials.

Technological infrastructure and access are typically not considered major challenges for OER initiatives, as OER materials are typically designed to be accessible online and can be used with basic internet connectivity.

OER development refers to the process of creating new OER materials, typically involving the design, production, and dissemination of openly licensed educational resources.
