My passionate pursuit in the study of Open E Learning is founded in my facination on how ICT has contributed to the affordable access of quality and up to date teaching and learning resources. The collection is from three short papers about my view on OERin Fiji and the Pacific as an Indigenous community. I hope that the reader will enjoy my opinions and it may also contribute to your knowledge collection. I will be addressing 2 questions, What Are OER and Why OER are Important In The Pacifc. This document was the platform which the OER Fiji Project was formed, for I addressed relevancy and necessity.  \nWHAT ARE O.E.R.’s?  \nUNESCO defines O.E.R. As “Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation.”(“What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?” 2015)  \nThe word ‘OPEN’ strongly emphasizes the Concept behind O.E.R. , that there are little or no barriers. I interpret this as a passionate approach to share knowledge, where thereis knowledge abundance in the world, with societies or communities that live in educational information deficit.  \nFiji, a third world country, O.E.R. offers an opportunity that empowers teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders in Education with real time information and open access. In my opinion, this is a globally evolved interactive approach in educational resources sharing, one can argue that it is not a new approach, but I will say that it is global and impacting Countries new to the concept of Open and Free Sharing of information, an opportunity to stay informed with global education developments.  \nThe opportunities that O.E.R.’s has provided for educational resources deficient countries are extensive, judging from what is available online and the technology that compliments the concept. An environment that encourages teachers to bring the curriculum to life with video’s and empowers lesson plans with resources provided by Khans Academy. A mental picture I normally use is teaching Volcanism, in Geography, on the Island schools, where the teacher can motivate learning by using an actual video simulation downloaded from YouTube. These are opportunities created by accessing O.E.R...  \nIn my opinion, interpreting the curriculum is task students are challenged with in any learning environment where the teacher must be an active guide, this is what teaching ultimately hopes to achieve, a student centered or student oriented learning environment. Learning environments, where teachers have the ability to get students generate intimate relationship with the curriculum, where students are motivated with a passion to learn. As such, we need a learning e","cbCaiesoXe4JcOPS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiesoXe4JcOPS","pdf",7654994,"English","# Introduction\n## What Are O.E.R.’s?\n## Why O.E.R.’s Are Important in the Pacific","[{\"question\":\"What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?\",\"answer\":\"UNESCO defines OER as open educational materials that are in the public domain or provided with an open license, allowing anyone to legally and freely copy, use, adapt, and re-share them.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the author think OER are important in the Pacific?\",\"answer\":\"The author argues that the Pacific has faced limited access to real-time and updated educational resources, and OER helps teachers and learners stay informed with global education developments.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author connect OER to teaching and learning practice?\",\"answer\":\"The author links OER to student-centered learning by enabling teachers to access extensive, real-time resources, helping students engage more deeply with the curriculum and motivating learning.\"}]","What Are Open Education Resources - A Secondary School Teachers Perspective | PDF"]
