Abstract

This chapter explores the possibilities for Open Education Resources (OERs) to be developed in ways that allow independent, self-directed adult learners to engage with the resources with the use of their own learning contexts. Using examples of open education resources currently available from some of the better-known OER providers, the author seeks to demonstrate what is currently available. The chapter then explores ways in which open education and OERs can be further developed to support varying and changing learner contexts.
