OER can include complete online courses, textbooks, documents, images, videos, and assessment items. This protocol itself is an example of an OER. It is licensed under a Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA 4.0) . This license allows anyone to freely share and adapt the protocol as long as there is proper attribution to the authors and any new versions include the same license as the original.  \nEquity & OER: The Role of Accessibility  \nThe availability of high-quality OER plays an important role in addressing equity issues in education. For its full potential to be realized for every learner, OER must be usable across the variability that learners bring to any learning environment. For this to be the case, OER must be designed according to accessibility best practices that ensure they will work with the assistive technologies many learners with disabilities use to access the curriculum. As an added benefit, accessible OER are also often mobile-friendly, which is an important consideration for increasing participation by students who primarily use smartphones either at school or home. The AEM Center article Open Educational Resources: Ensuring Inclusive Learning in Uncertain Times explores the relationship between OER, accessibility, and equity in more detail.  \nBackground  \nDuring 2019 and 2020, the AEM Center facilitated an Accessibility Community of Practice (CoP) with members of the \\#GoOpen Network. The goal of the CoP was to seek creative solutions to OER accessibility challenges. The work of the CoP contributed to the develop","cbCaigGXJJVhUrUp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigGXJJVhUrUp","pdf",633768,"English","# Defining Open Educational Resources\n# Equity & OER: The Role of Accessibility\n# Background\n# Purpose & Use\n# Section 1.
