Open educational resources

Language versions: fi en sv

Definition Open educational resources mean materials or information in any form and used on any medium, partly designed for teaching and learning purposes, which have been:

• released for public use (public domain) or;
• shared by an open licence that permits no-cost access, reuse, repurpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.

In addition, when calculating the amount of open educational resources, the calculations shall also take into account the educational resources prepared prior to the entry into force of the policy, which have been licensed by partially open licences prohibiting the publication of versions modified based on the resources, the commercial use of the resources, or both (for example Creative Commons licences including ND or NC conditions). Although scholarly publications can be used as educational resources, especially at higher education levels, and although openness of scholarly publications therefore makes these open as educational resources as well, this policy applies, above all, to educational resources which are not primarily scholarly publications. In addition, according to the policy, open educational resource must be a pedagogically meaningful whole that can be utilised in education.

The definition of open educational resources is in line with the definition of open educational resources given in the UNESCO Recommendation on Educational Resources 2019, except that the reference to research materials has been omitted, because these will be discussed in the Policy of open access to research materials and methods.

Creative Commons, the world's most common open licensing system, was created in 2001. It is the preferred licence for open source material in many countries. Creative Commons licences are designed to be easy to use and understand. It is up to the author to decide on the licence according to their own objectives. In principle, a CC licence includes an irrevocable worldwide right to redistribute the material. By choosing the appropriate additional conditions from a list of four, the author can limit these rights as they see fit. Read more: https://creativecommons.org/

Creative Commons, världens vanligaste öppna licenssystem, skapades 2001. Det är den rekommenderade licensen för öppet tillgängligt material i många länder. Creative Commons-licenser (länk på finska) är utformade för att vara lätta att använda och för-stå. Upphovspersonen väljer licens enligt sina egna mål sättningar. Utgångspunkten är att en CC-licens innehåller en oåterkallelig världsomspännande rätt att vidaredistribuera materialet. Genom att välja lämpliga ytterligare villkor bland de fyra nedan kan upphovspersonen begränsa dessa rättigheter på det sätt som hen anser lämpligt. Inga ytterligare begränsningar eller villkor kan knytas till CC-licensen. Läs mer: https://creativecommons.org/
