Position Paper on Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) have become a critical part of the education discourse and political actions within Europe. As a direct effect of signing the UNESCO recommendations for OER, there have been increased activities in this field by multiple governments and authorities. By highlighting both risks and chances, the European Edtech Alliance intends for this paper to inform decision makers and policy makers in the creation and implementation of policies which support the responsible, future-proofed, quality-driven development and usage of learning resources and the implementation of OER.
