The advantages of digitization, which often remain unused due to existing copyright practices, can be fully exploited through the granting of open licenses and the resulting legally compliant reusability of resources. This enables faculty and students to make greater collaborative use of educational materials. Educators can freely use and adapt OER, thereby improving the quality of their teaching.
