Accessible OER refers to resources which allow people with disability, or those who may have additional barriers to learning, to access content, regardless of their difficulty (Zhang, et al., 2020). When discussing accessible digital content, the International Organisation for Standardization (2008) states that ‘accessible’ in relation to an interactive system refers to “usability of a product, service, environment or facility by people with the widest range of capabilities” (p. 2). Some aspects of OER content may be inclusive of a wide variety of perspectives and cater for some people with disability, however, there are a number of areas which need to be addressed to ensure that all potential users have access to the OER.
