The document discusses the NordicOER project, which aims to build an alliance in the Nordic countries to promote open education. It notes that while open approaches are widely used, there is a lack of awareness, policies, and collaborations regarding open educational resources (OER) in the Nordic region. The project seeks to address these issues by raising awareness, creating a Nordic network on OER, exploring the transformative potential and cost/quality impacts of OER, and helping institutions incorporate OER into their strategies through cross-border collaborations and policy development. It also discusses how OER can help support smaller Nordic languages and cultures.
