• What are open educational resources (OER) and how can you find them?
• How are OER created and shared?
• Can the creation and use of reusable learning resources in the teaching and learning environment assist in achieving the expected learning outcomes of curricula revisions in Mongolia?
• What policy considerations require addressing to ensure the acceptability of OER as a means of transforming the curriculum into a rich teaching and learning experience?
• What training is required for teachers and faculty for creating and reusing OER, and by learners in using them?
• What are the cost and benefit metrics associated with creating and delivering courses through an OER environment?
