Open Educational Resources at HIIG
Under the principle of Open Science, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) engages in a productive exchange of knowledge between scientific and social actors. This includes Open Educational Resources (OER), which are educational materials under an open licence. At HIIG, we are continuously developing a wide range of OER, including a lecture series, a future thinking toolkit and several games.
Why OER?
OER contribute to equity and sustainability in education by providing free access and the right to edit and republish materials. This benefits not only learners but also teachers, as they can save resources such as time sharing and reusing the materials.
Want to know more about OER? Here is a guide to creating, distributing and archiving, summarised by our researchers Katharina Mosene and Marcel Wrzesinski.

OPEN SCIENCE AT HIIG
What does the term open science mean and how can we make academic research more accessible, collaborative and transparent for all?
This OER consists of 6 exercises. They combine methods of future studies with materials around digitalisation and its impact on our society.
This project explores thirteen utopias for the digital society, written by visionary scholars from different disciplines.
In our lecture series, leading thinkers address the pioneering questions of digitalisation. We have supplemented the individual lectures with further OER materials.
Concise articles presenting and critically discussing individual concepts of our digital society by various authors in our Internet Policy Review Journal.
Online course on digital methods to analyse societal dynamics in different research fields.
