The OER universitas (OERu) makes higher education accessible to everyone. Coordinated by the OER Foundation, an independent, not-for-profit organisation, the OERu
network of institutions offers free
open online courses for students worldwide. The OERu partners also provide affordable ways for learners to gain academic credit towards qualifications from recognised institutions.
To join the OERu network, partners must:
- be formally recognised institutions in their respected jurisdictions
- subscribe to the core principles of engagement for their contributions to the OERu initiative
- be platinum, gold or silver contributing members of the OER Foundation
- agree to assemble two courses based solely on OER and open access materials linked to academic credit at their institution.
