About the OER Lab

OER stands for Open Educational Resources. These are resources that are free to access for anyone, and these resources are often created with open licenses so that anyone can use the information openly, without worry of copyright infringement. The OER Lab is a part of Centennial College that helps with the production of OERs. One of the main purposes of the OER Lab is to work with educators to create OERs for their courses, with the goal of reducing textbook costs for their students.
