 You have heard of the National Curriculum Framework 2005, which speaks of contextual, inclusive and meaningful education. In your units on education, you have also read about constructivist learning models.  For these ideas to come true, relevant learning resources must be available for the students (teachers) and teachers (teacher-educator).  These resources must be contextual, easily available, allow for learners to modify and adapt for their requirements.

 However, we now have a variety of mature and high quality FOSS applications which can allow resource creators and editors to create, re-mix, revise and re-distribute OER in multiple formats. These are available on the desktop environment, on the web and on mobile phone platforms. The power of OER comes from its ‘openness’, that it can be freely re-used, revised and re-distributed. Similarly, software that is 'open' and can be freely re-used, revised and re-distributed can create a rich learning environment, by providing the tool-set for OER creation and re-purposing.

 In teacher education also, educational resources were developed collaboratively by a programme for Teacher Education in Sub Saharan Africa and published on http://www.tessafrica.net. These are some of the early initiatives in OERs; now many more OERs are available across the world teaching and learning.  In India, National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) (http://nptel.iitk.ac.in) and IGNOU have offered many of the courses as Open Educational Resources.

 There are different kinds of  OERs: - Sharing already created academic  content for free   www.khanacademy.org; www.tessafrica.net  - - Structuring free course materials and courses – like  www.nroer.metastudio.org; ; www.edx.org; www.coursera.org ; www.nptel.iitk.ac.in - Collaborate and creating materials - www.wikipedia.org The Karnataka Open Educational Resources (KOER) project is a project of DSERT Karnataka to enable and support teachers to collaborate and create educational resources and share with all.

 Open Educational Resources are those resources that allow the following four kinds of freedoms to learners/ users.  These “Freedoms” are as follows:
 # Resources can be accessed for free, used and 're-used'

 ‘’Build it and they will come?[1]’’ This perhaps captures an earlier paradigm in the OER space, with more and more materials being made available from educators and institutions, but with limited uptake from users. The causes for limited uptake could be:
 # '''''legal''''' - limited	awareness of open licensing possibilities amongst people

 Right now, in many cases, the textbook tends to be the most important resource for teachers, if not the only resource.  This resource is limited, made once in a year and represent on set of thoughts.  These resources are largely text based, have very audio visual resources and may not address multiple learning needs. External resources, though available, are also largely non-digital, expensive and cannot easily be adapted for local needs and contexts.  For critical and diverse perspectives to develop, multiple resources must be available and it must be possible for knowledge to be constructed and shared from multiple contexts. Otherwise, it is possible that only some forms of knowledge will remain important and other will die out. For knowledge sharing to freely happen, educational resources must become freely available, freely shareable and freely changeable to adapt to local contexts and needs.  You have also read about the role of ICTs in the creation, sharing and distribution of knowledge in section on ICTs and Society.
