Turn your teaching and learning units into OER even more easily with our templates and guidelines.
Our templates help you to prepare open educational content clearly and make it available as OER. They are geared towards didactic requirements and offer you a practical basis for integrating OER in various formats into your teaching in a meaningful way.

Sample OER Policy
Establish OER at your university
Establishing OER at a university requires a clear framework. Our sample OER policy will help you to formulate these for your institution. Simply download the document in the desired format:
Sample template rights of use
Regulating the transfer of rights of use
If you create open educational materials together with people who are not employed at your university (e.g. students, members of other educational institutions, etc.), your university requires rights of use to the materials. You can have these transferred to you by means of an agreement.
Our sample templates can serve as an initial guide. We have explained the differences between the two consents in more detail in a blog post.
The “Transfer of rights of use” template
Permission to Use Third-Party Works
Permission to Use Third-Party Works in OER
If you want to use materials created by others in OER but cannot rely on a legal exception such as the right to quote, you will need to obtain usage rights. Our template makes it easy to grant these rights.
Consent to photo and video recordings
Legal protection for the use of personal images
If you want to enrich your open educational material with personal images or video recordings, you generally need the consent of the persons concerned.
If you want to know what a declaration of consent can look like and what needs to be taken into account, see our data protection template: Consent to photo and video recordings + information sheet. You can download the template in three formats here:
Liability for legal infringements
Be informed about legal violations
In this article, we inform you how you can avoid infringements and react to warning letters:
OER planning aid
Use individual guidelines for the creation of OER
Our OER planning guide supports you in creating educational materials in the OER standard. Depending on the selected content type and the integration of third-party materials, you will receive an individual, CC-BY-licensed guide as a PDF or Doc file with formal and didactic recommendations as well as information on license details.
Didactic templates
Designing teaching-learning scenarios even faster
Our didactic templates are intended to serve as templates for the design of (digitally supported) teaching and learning scenarios. They follow the principles of basic didactic concepts (e.g. problem-based or research-based learning) and have been created for use in various systems(Moodle, Ilias, Stud.IP and LiaScript). Further templates will be added successively.
Handouts
Information material
In the handout on copyright in university teaching, we provide you with comprehensive information on the topic and checklists.
The handout on Open Educational Resources provides you with all the important information on the topic of OER.
