National Inclusive Open Educational Resources Policy (Audio Flipbook Version)

Abstract

The Malaysian governmental bodies, educational providers, and institutions from preschool to post-secondary education levels in both public and private sectors and agencies, hereafter referred to as the “institution”, will promote and implement inclusive Open Educational Resources (iOER) that permits no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others within an Open Licensing framework. The long-term vision of this National Policy on inclusive Open Educational Resources (iOER) is to ensure the adoption of iOER by the institutions to provide quality education and training (learning and development) access to all learners. The Policy envisions that iOER will be used effectively in education to enable all learners to learn according to their individual learning preferences as well as learning styles and to promote the long-term inclusion into wider society of learners with disabilities, particularly through enhancing their social inclusion and employment opportunities.
