OER Community


This is an open invitation to all educators in Asia and those others who have an interest in Asian education to become a part of our community. The ideals of the community are enshrined within the context of the Cape Town Declaration on Open Education and that is “everyone should have the freedom to use, customize, improve and redistribute educational resources without constraint”.

This community is sector blind and welcomes participation of all those associated with education from basic and primary education to life long learning.
