Open Educational Resources (OER) Repository
OER @ BAOU:
Adopting an open educational resources (OER) policy at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University supports its objectives to "disseminate learning and knowledge by a diversity of means” and "Provide opportunities for higher education to a large segment of the population”. The 40th session of UNESCO’s General Conference in November 2019 adopted a Recommendation on OER, which recommended developing policy for OER to "support open licensing of publicly funded educational and research materials, develop strategies to enable use and adaptation of OER in support of high quality, inclusive education and lifelong learning for all”. Adoption of OER in the teaching and learning ecosystem of BAOU will reduce the cost of developing learning materials, improve access to learning resources developed at BAOU to Gujarati speaking diaspora all over the world, and improve the quality of teaching and learning through the use of existing openly available multimedia resources.
Mission: The mission of the BAOU OER policy is to develop and provide access to high quality teaching, learning and research materials as open educational resources to anyone in the world and especially to Gujarati speaking diaspora.
Vision: To become a leading producer of high quality open educational resources in the world.
