Open Educational Resources (OER) movement began in the 21st century for
furthering the culture of open knowledge by free dissemination /sharing of knowledge. It
is basically rooted in the philosophy of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) with the
objective of expanding the access to knowledge to all types of learners pursuing non
formal, formal and informal education. The using OER implies support for an open
curriculum where learners have the flexibility to select units/Programmes to suit their
personal needs. It is the responsibility of the Distance Education Council (DEC) to promote
quality and standards in the ODL system and encourage ODL institutions to develop and
offer quality programmes. Besides this, the DEC also encourages sharing of academic
resources and thereby reducing duplication of efforts and enhancing the knowledge and
other skill requirement of the users at large and also ensuring their wider accessibility.
The Distance Education Council can take up this initiative for developing Web
Based Multimedia, Interactive e-Content repositories by pooling all the programmes
developed by Distance Education Institutions (DEIs) attached to conventional Universities.
The Centre for Distance and Online Education of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University is
offering various programmes with the mission to (i) provide quality education for the rural
and the unreached, (ii) attain excellence in teaching, research and extension activities (iii)
imbibe, inculcate and promote human values so as to create a 'culture of lawfulness'.
Based on the mission, the institute will fulfill the academic needs of the poor and weaker
sections of the society. I appreciate and wishes the students of the programmes of the
Centre for Distance and Online Education, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,
Tirunelveli.
