ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open educational practices

Open educational practices are ways of teaching and learning that allow people to access educational resources freely. That means that instead of paying for textbooks or other learning materials, people can get these materials for free so they can learn and explore different topics without spending money. This also means that teachers can share their materials and resources with each other so they don't have to keep creating new materials every time they teach a lesson, which saves them time and effort. Open educational practices help to make learning more accessible and easy, no matter how much money a person has.
