Obstacles that prevent students from accessing education. In this context, the high cost of materials acts as a significant barrier.

The competence or knowledge required. In this case, digital literacy is the skill faculty need to create and manage the new OER resources.

The anticipated direction of educational materials, moving away from closed, expensive, commercial products toward open, collaborative, digital content.

The new culture of collaboration promoted by OER, where academics contribute their adapted materials back to a global knowledge commons for others to use and improve.

The main subject of the lecture. Teaching, learning, and research materials that are free and open-access, allowing them to be adapted and customized.

The financial expense of purchasing textbooks, which the video identifies as a barrier to higher education for many students.

The ability for academics to modify, change, or remix the content of OER to better suit their local curriculum, language, or cultural context.

Resources that are in an electronic format (e.g., accessed on a screen, tablet, or computer) rather than printed. This is the format of the future educational resources.

The key principle that these resources are freely available and openly licensed, allowing anyone to use, share, and modify them.
