Open Educational Resources: Challenges

1. Open Education Resources: Challenges
1. Quality control—although it is widely available it might not be
good.
2. Finding good materials increases class preparation time.
3. Some of the best textbooks are not yet available through OER.
4. Lowest common denominator effect where it is tempting to
copy what is available.
5. Using OER for online classes pushes the entire learning
experience into digital format (whereas real textbooks can be
grounding for online learners).
