OER

This report was commissioned as part of the project Survey on Governments’ Open Educational Resources(OER) Policies carried out by the Commonwealth of Learning and UNESCO and partially funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) have taken an active interest in the development of the open educational resources (OER) movement. As part of their joint project Fostering Governmental Support for Open Educational Resources Internationally, UNESCO and COL invited governments to provide information about their policies in relation to OER. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) conducted a similar survey of its member states between August and October 2011 but, because it could not share the detailed results, OECD countries were also included in this survey. This report provides an overview of the findings of the COL/UNESCO survey on

OER policies and activity across all countries of the world.
