OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER) are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium-digital or otherwise- that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions (UNESCO, 2021).

DOST-STARBOOKS

STARBOOKS is the first digital science library in the Philippines that may be used as an alternative learning tool in the new normal. It is a stand-alone information source designed to reach those with limited or no internet access to information.

STARBOOKS is an acronym, meaning Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated KioskS. Its project aims to provide S&T based educational and learning resources in various formats to geographically-isolated and economically-challenged schools and local government units (LGUs) throughout the country. It was also designed to further implement the mandate of DOST-STII to provide access to S&T information as well as stimulate interest of the public to science and technology.

It also features videos dubbed “TamangDOSTkarte Livelihood Videos” to stimulate every Filipino’s entrepreneurial capacity.
