The aim of this special issue of Open Learning is to provide an introduction to the
emerging Open Educational Resources (OER) movement. It is a young movement,
with just a decade of development, but significant initiatives have been undertaken in
a range of settings, issues have been identified that must be addressed, and ultimately
there are implications for education systems and institutions, learners and educators.
