Benefits and challenges of using oer
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OERs). Some key benefits include: sharing resources reduces costs for institutions and taxpayers, continuous improvements can be made to resources as they are shared, and OERs can increase an institution's competitiveness by reducing textbook costs. However, some challenges exist as well, such as OERs being seen as more work for instructors, concerns about quality and peer review, and a lack of evidence on OERs' impact on student achievement. Overall, the document provides an overview of the pros and cons of utilizing open educational resources in education.
Embracing open
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of adopting open educational resources (OER) over traditional copyrighted course materials. It notes that OER content can be revised, adapted to student needs, and updated at no cost, unlike copyrighted materials where these actions are restricted or prohibited. The document outlines benefits of OER for students, including reduced costs and access to materials from day one of class. It also lists benefits for faculty, such as increased focus on learning outcomes and ability to innovate instruction using multimedia content. However, identifying appropriate OER can be time-consuming, and both students and faculty may resist alternative delivery methods requiring education on OER.

This document summarizes a study on faculty use of open educational resources (OER) at community and technical colleges in Washington state. The study found that faculty use OER in various ways, from supplementing courses to replacing commercial textbooks. Faculty reported that OER allows them to save students money, enhance instruction, and increase pedagogical freedom. However, faculty also face challenges like lack of time, uncertainty about OER, and difficulties finding appropriate materials. The study recommends that colleges provide more support for faculty as they adopt and adapt OER in their courses.Benefits & Challenges of OER

The document summarizes research being conducted on the adoption of Open Course Library (OCL) materials by colleges in Washington state. The research aims to understand how OCL materials are being used, barriers to adoption, and the impact on student success. Preliminary findings from focus groups and interviews with faculty who adopted OCL materials found that they liked the pre-packaged materials and cost savings, but others faced barriers like materials residing in ANGEL and lack of support. Keys to successful adoption included communities of users, continuous improvement, and connections to authors. The implementation plan proposes building an OER hub, advisory group, workshops, and atmosphere welcoming OER use.

The document discusses an academic's perspective on adopting resource lists to integrate reading lists with the university library catalogue and learning management system. Some key benefits mentioned are streamlining the student experience, avoiding duplicating work by managing reading lists and CLA scans separately, and allowing the library to track student access and borrowing. Potential drawbacks include reducing opportunities for students to practice catalogue searching and the time-consuming nature of setting up the system and scanning CLA materials. Going forward, the author plans to provide feedback to improve catalogue integration and list formatting, monitor student progress, and get assistance setting up additional lists.

2012-10-17 Solving the Textbook Cost Crisis (Open Education 2012)
1) Textbook prices have increased four times the rate of inflation over the last three decades, with the average student spending $1,168 per year and the average introductory textbook costing $176.
2) Open textbooks, which are free online and affordable in print, provide a solution as they are openly licensed, can be adapted by instructors, and save students money while improving learning outcomes.
3) For open textbooks to be widely adopted, faculty need to adopt them, librarians need to work with faculty, and administrators need to provide support, while students can advocate for solutions to lower costs.

The document discusses Coventry University's "No Hidden Extras" program which provides students with up to £250 per year of learning materials, including textbooks. In 2012-2013, the university distributed 20,000 print textbooks to 3,400 students. To make this process easier, the university piloted ebooks with some students and courses. While uptake of ebooks was not high initially, it increased over time as students grew accustomed to the format. The university plans to continue piloting ebooks and increase their use over time to reduce the logistical challenges of distributing print textbooks to thousands of students each year.

Online submission and Blackboard rubrics
The document discusses rubrics, which clarify learning goals, guide feedback, and assess student work. Rubrics benefit students by communicating expectations and help instructors provide timely feedback. An effective rubric design is based on learning outcomes and used to score student work, identify strengths/weaknesses, and improve teaching. While rubrics provide objectives assessments and ease grading, challenges include usability, intuitiveness of tools, and moderation processes. Blackboard and Turnitin rubric tools are compared.

OER Update for FACTC Oct 2014
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and their benefits. It notes that OER include educational materials like textbooks, assignments, courses, videos, and activities that are freely shared under open licenses. OER can help reduce costs for students, who sometimes spend $1200 or more per year on textbooks, or choose not to take courses due to textbook expenses. OER also give faculty more control over customizing course materials. The document provides examples of colleges that have successfully implemented OER programs to improve access and lower costs for students.

Accelerated Reader is a reading incentive program used in 75,000 schools that provides students with quizzes on books to test their comprehension and monitors their progress. The newer Renaissance Place version provides access to more quizzes and assessments through an online platform, while the older desktop version required purchasing individual quizzes. Research shows Accelerated Reader can be successful when implemented correctly with teacher training, but critics argue the quizzes only test recall and not higher-level reading skills, and goals may be arbitrarily set.
OER Through the eyes of a novice
Open Education Resources (OER) provide many free educational benefits but also present some challenges. OER offer free college lectures, tutorials, and peer evaluations of course materials from around the world. However, some students may find it difficult to navigate the large amount of information or lack consistent access to a computer and internet, which are needed to use OER. Additionally, not all students are aware that OER exist or comfortable asking for help using them. While OER remove economic barriers to education, access and digital navigation remain challenges for some.

Piaget
Jean Piaget was a biologist, psychologist, and philosopher known for his epistemological studies with children and theories that placed great importance on children's education. He helped develop the constructivist theory of knowing and studied how children's cognitive abilities develop through stages from ages 0 to 12, adapting and organizing information through processes like object permanence, egocentrism, logic, and conservation. Piaget viewed the classroom as providing opportunities to create disequilibrium and equilibration through learning.

OER Presentation.pptx
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). Some key benefits include reducing the cost of learning, allowing for continuing education, creating standardized courses, showcasing faculty work, and providing flexibility. However, there are also challenges such as difficulty finding appropriate licenses, ensuring quality control, getting faculty adoption, competition with publishers, and requiring computer/internet access. Overall, OER can increase access to education but also face adoption and technical barriers.
Using oer resources
OER resources provide five key benefits: they eliminate textbook costs which helps students who struggle financially; students have immediate access to materials on day one of class; electronic resources are easily shared and used remotely; a wider range of resources are available without cost barriers; and they may be more environmentally friendly than printed books. However, there are also five challenges: it takes significant time for instructors to find suitable materials; resources must be appropriately tailored for students; students may need training to use electronic materials; instructors require training to effectively use OER; and digital resources could disappear if the source is removed without backups.
Benefits and challenges of oer
The document outlines both the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OERs). The main benefits are that OERs are typically free or low-cost, widely accessible online, equitable for all students regardless of location or finances, and easy for instructors to update and customize by combining various resources. However, the challenges include potential copyright or licensing issues, increased workload for instructors to adapt materials, variability in quality compared to traditional textbooks, reliance on technology and internet connectivity, and questions around the long-term sustainability of OER programs and resources.
OER benefits and challenges
Open Educational Resources (OER) provide several benefits for students and educators. OER are free textbooks and course materials that reduce costs for students and improve accessibility. They allow students to access materials anytime and can increase enrollment. Educators can customize OER for their courses and share materials with other instructors. However, OER also present challenges, such as the risk of content disappearing if not properly archived. Finding and creating OER can require significant time from educators. Intellectual property concerns may intimidate some instructors from using OER as well.
OER-Benefits-Challenges.pptx
This document discusses the challenges and benefits of open educational resources (OERs). Some of the key challenges include OER adoption requiring extra effort from educators, little incentive for creators to keep content up to date, and issues of access and quality. However, OERs also provide important benefits such as expanded access to learning materials anywhere at any time. They allow for enhanced course content and quick updates. OERs are also more affordable for students compared to traditional textbooks. While quality and technical issues exist, OERs have the potential to increase access to education on a global scale.
Open Educational Resources Solomon.pptx
Open educational resources (OER) provide several benefits for students including low or no cost textbooks, easy access to materials before, during and after class, and increased availability of resources. However, there are also some challenges to using OER. Faculty must spend time searching across multiple sources to find high quality OER materials suitable for their course outcomes and student level. They also need to ensure any materials used are accessible to all students and properly attributed and licensed. Initially adopting OER requires a heavy workload for faculty to find, modify, and check materials, but it provides long term cost savings and flexibility for students.
Affordable Online Access.pptx
Open educational resources (OERs) are freely available teaching and learning materials that can be reused, modified, and shared. OERs offer several benefits such as reducing student costs by replacing traditional textbooks, allowing for quick updates and improvements, and providing scalable and accessible learning materials to students worldwide. However, some challenges to OERs include lack of incentives for continued creation, insufficient training for educators, potential language barriers, requiring internet access and technological capabilities, and missing the human interaction of in-person classes.
Potential Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Open Educational Resources
Educators have more flexibility in their course curriculum when using open educational resources (OER) compared to traditional textbooks. OER allow instructors to select customized content without being restricted to what is in a single textbook. Additionally, using OER increases student access to higher education by lowering textbook costs, which is a major barrier to attendance and degree completion. However, OER materials may have issues with quality, accessibility, and navigability that require extra time and effort from educators to evaluate and address.
OER for Educators
This document provides an introduction to open educational resources (OER) for educators. It defines OER as open-licensed digital assets that are free to use for teaching, learning, and research. The document outlines benefits of using OER, such as reduced costs for students, flexibility for educators to customize materials, and easy updating of current content. Challenges of using OER include ensuring quality and currency of materials, a lack of supplemental resources, and the time required for educators to discover and modify OER content for their specific needs. The document provides sources for further information on both benefits and challenges of adopting OER.
OER Pros and Cons.pptx
Open educational resources (OER) provide many benefits but also some potential disadvantages. Some key benefits are that OER makes education more accessible and affordable globally as students can access materials anytime for free. It also allows for customization and interaction with resources. However, disadvantages include a lack of quality control for some resources and additional work for faculty to implement OER. Despite these disadvantages, the document concludes that the benefits of OER far outweigh the costs.
The benefits and challenges of using open educational resources
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OERs). The benefits are that OERs are free or low-cost, always available without risk of running out of copies, and can be easily updated by instructors. However, some OER materials may be of poor quality, not reliably updated, and lack supplemental materials. Additionally, a lack of public understanding and disappearing links can pose challenges to adopting OERs. Overall, the document argues that OERs benefit both students and schools.
Benefits and challenges of using OER
Open educational resources (OER) provide several benefits but also pose challenges. OER can help instructors stay current, encourage creative curriculum design, and save students money. Studies show OER may improve student grades and make education more accessible. However, OER quality varies and developing high-quality materials requires significant instructor time. Some students also face barriers to accessing online resources. Ensuring links remain active and losing publisher supplemental materials present additional challenges to using OER effectively.
Open Educational Resoureces (OER)
Open educational resources (OER) provide benefits such as low costs for students, easy access to materials, and the ability for instructors to design balanced courses. However, OER also present challenges including the time needed to understand licensing, find relevant materials, and vet quality. Adoption by faculty can also be difficult due to creating a new culture of open knowledge sharing. Accessibility standards may not always be met requiring revisions before adoption.
Oer 101 – benefits and challenges
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). The benefits include equitable access to education for all students regardless of their financial situation, lower costs for course materials which allows students to spend financial aid on other necessities, opportunities for professional development and customization of materials for faculty, and catering to different learning styles. However, developing OER courses can be time-consuming, some faculty may have a fixed mindset resisting change, institutions may have unrealistic expectations, ensuring quality and keeping materials up-to-date is challenging, and not all students have access to necessary technology.

This document discusses the extreme benefits and notable challenges of open educational resources (OER). The key benefits include cost savings for students, increased access to education through open textbooks and courses online, greater collaboration between educators, and constantly updated information. However, challenges include ensuring quality control with large quantities of resources, low adoption rates, lack of incentives for authors, potential legal liabilities, and limited non-English materials. Overall, the document argues that the benefits of OER outweigh these challenges.
Benefits challenges oer
The document outlines benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) for courses. Key benefits are that OER allows for customization of content to course outcomes, minimal or no textbook costs, integration into online courses, and promotion of engagement through varied content and presentation. Challenges include the time needed to find and design with quality OER, unpredictability if internet resources change or disappear, and determining what truly qualifies as OER.
The Benefits and Challenges of OER
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER's). The benefits are: 1) OER's reduce student costs for higher education by lowering tuition and textbook costs; 2) OER's increase accessibility to education by allowing students to access resources anywhere and anytime; and 3) student success increases when more students have access to textbooks. The challenges are: 1) instructors are overwhelmed by the large amount of OER information to review; 2) technically challenged students may have problems accessing online resources; and 3) some students still lack computers or internet access needed to use OER's.
Benefits and Challenges of Online Educational Resources
Open educational resources (OER) provide several benefits but also present some challenges. OER can help students financially by reducing costs and support first-generation college students' access to materials. They allow instructors flexibility to customize courses to students' needs. However, some students prefer non-online formats, and OER may not always be accessible. Additionally, quality can vary and finding high-quality OER is time-consuming for instructors. Links included in OER also risk breaking or becoming outdated over time. Overall, OER expand educational possibilities but come with drawbacks to consider.
Benefits and challenges of using oer materials
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) materials. Some key benefits are: 1) OER materials are free for students, saving them hundreds of dollars on textbooks; 2) they cover a wide range of topics and disciplines; and 3) they are created by subject experts instead of publishers. However, some challenges are: 1) the quality can vary and finding high-quality materials takes time; 2) not all faculty support using non-publisher materials; and 3) access issues for students without consistent computer access. Overall, OER materials provide cost savings for students but also face adoption challenges that may lessen over time.
Open education resources (oer)
Open Education Resources (OER) provide several benefits for students and instructors but also present some challenges.
For students, OER offers cost savings over traditional textbooks, improved access to course materials, and high-quality resources selected by instructors to fit course objectives. However, students need reliable internet access to make full use of online OER.
Instructors benefit from easy access to OER through repositories, the ability to modify materials under open licenses, and opportunities to customize resources. But finding, reviewing, and assessing OER takes extra time compared to traditional textbooks. Some instructors also lack interest or awareness of OER benefits.

Benefits and challenges of using open educational resources
- 1. Benefits and Challenges of using Open Educational Resources Mary Jane O
- 2. • No (or lower) costs for students – Students may still want to print OER resources but this would be much cheaper than buying a published text • Portability – if the OER resource is online – Students can ‘take’ their online OER resource with them wherever they go • Flexibility – Instructors can pick and choose from a variety of resources and pick the resource that fits the particular need
- 3. • Control – Instructors choose when the material needs to be updated, not the publisher • Environmentally Responsible – Online OER materials reduce the amount of paper required to produce textbooks that are only partly used
- 4. • Uncertain Availability – Materials are moved or websites are changed resulting in dead links • Lack of Selection – For some topics OER materials simply don’t exist. This is especially true for topics in prof/tech education where the need for affordability is more crucial. Much emphasis is put on the 4-year transfer core courses, but OER for special topics are few and far between
- 5. • Out-of-date materials – Although may of the topics (like algebra and calculus) don’t expire, some do and when funding discontinues for OER, the likelihood of updates is slim. • Publishers offer some resources that OER can duplicate – Online homework using huge databases of questions are commonly offered by publishers. It is almost impossible to duplicate this valuable resource with OER.
- 6. • Perception of Lower Quality – Many people associate cost with quality. Something given away as free must not be as good as something that costs.
