This document discusses national strategies for open educational resources (OER) in several countries. It provides examples of OER projects and initiatives in Brazil, the Netherlands, South Africa, Poland, New Zealand, and the United States. These countries are working to develop OER policies, provide open licenses for educational content, and foster collaborative production of open textbooks and online courses through partnerships with governments, educators, and nonprofit organizations. The goal is to establish sustainable ecosystems for OER that reduce costs and facilitate sharing of publicly funded educational materials.
