MERCED-Initiatives on OER (Open Educational Resources)

OER stands for Open Educational Resources. UNESCO defines Open Educational Resources (OER) as teaching, learning or research materials that are in the public domain or released with intellectual property licenses that facilitate the free use, adaptation and distribution of resources.

Mitigating the effects of the pandemic COVID19, as well as internal organizational challenges, the UP Mindanao Library has developed its own database of OER, mined and harvested through the web. These are organized into General Education (GE), curriculum-based degree programs, as well as teaching aids and devices. Another categorization of OER are format-based, that is, textbooks, multi-media, journals, or serials.

For your research requirements, just click on any of the links below. You will be directed to the OPAC-generated list of your choice, and from there select which titles best fit your needs.

We hope your UP Mindanao Library has provided you with the best it could afford given its limited resources, capacity, and underlying circumstances.

Daghang salamat!
