Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) have emerged as a concept with great potential to support educational transformation. While their educational value lies in the idea of using resources as an integral method of communicating curriculum in educational courses (i.e., resource-based learning), their transformative power lies in the ease with which these resources, once digitised, can be shared via the Internet. This article gives a brief overview of the Open Educational Resources movement, with particular emphasis on its definition, characteristics, scope, limits, etc. It also presents the UNES (University-School) Open Educational Portal, the repository of Open Educational Resources of the Department of Didactics of Social Sciences of the University of Granada.
