[edit] Open educational resources
Using and sharing open educational resources helps to:
- Maximise flexibility for students and teachers
- Maximise future utility of teaching materials
- Maximise digitisation
- Maximise openness
- Maximise capacity of graduates to have ongoing, convenient access to learning materials
