**Open Educational Resources**
The term Open Educational Resources is ten years old this year – it was used for the first time in a UNESCO conference in 2002 (Hylén, 2006). Hylén (2006) says that open educational resources mean that these educational resources are made available to all those who seek it whilst eliminating technical, price and legal permissions barriers. Furthermore, users can also edit and build upon these OERs, so long as the creator of that OER is acknowledged (Hylén, 2006). An OER typicially consists of the learning content including learning objects, tools that help to manage and develop the OER and implementation resources which includes intellectual property licences (Hylén, 2006). **References** Hylén, J.
