What are the Benefits & Challenges?
As an educator, one of the most important benefits I see to OER is the
enhanced potential for student success. It used to be that students had one, possibly two, sources
for instruction--teachers and parents. The majority of families do not have the funds for outside
tutoring. OER is enhancing the opportunity for all students to access content and
instruction. They are coming to our classes more prepared than ever!
