Benefits and Challenges of
Using OER
Laura Adele Soracco
Benefits
-Offering OER content to students makes education more affordable to all.
-Sharing resources fosters collaboration amongst faculty.
-Increased collaboration can promote better teaching practices.
-Content that is published and shared with a wider community will be revised and
could become richer as it gets used in different ways.
-Education becomes more accessible, which could have a positive social impact.
Challenges
-The more OER content becomes available, the harder it gets to refine searches
and make sure the content is accurate or pertinent.
-Identifying the validity of licenses online (credibility of sources) can be
challenging.
-The attributions text could be distracting below images or content if there is too
much being cited.
-Part-time community college faculty do not usually get financial support for duties
outside of their contracted teaching hours. Creating OER content is time
consuming and would be free labor.
