Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits repurposing by others.
On this site you’ll find openly licensed textbooks and courses written and curated by SUNY Faculty. For more about OER in SUNY, visit OpenNYS to see how OER is being used all over New York State, or explore SUNY OER Services at oer.suny.edu.
