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.
Benefits challenges of OER
Describes the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER) for students, instructors, colleges, and universities.
Alt summary
This document discusses how technology can enhance community-based learning. It provides examples of how technology can help reach isolated learners and offer new learning opportunities. Specifically, technology can give learners more ownership and independence over their education. However, there are also challenges to using technology for community learning, such as some learners and tutors lacking experience or confidence with technology. While technology shows great potential, more work still needs to be done to fully realize its benefits for community-based education.
The question remains: To OER or Not to OER
The document discusses the question of whether to use open educational resources (OER) or not. It defines OER as freely accessible and openly licensed documents and media that can be used for teaching, learning, and research. Some of the advantages of OER include reduced costs for students, access to materials before and after class, and resources tailored specifically for the student population. However, some drawbacks are that instructors do not profit from OER, the validity of information is sometimes questionable, searching for resources can be cumbersome, and cheating may occur more easily if all students have access to the same open materials.
Educating in a New Era
As the world becomes more connected, we have greater access to information than we could have thought possible only a few years ago. This has had a tremendous impact on education, and English teaching is no exception. From greater education and training requirements to a growing emphasis on the use of technology both in and outside the classroom, how can teachers keep up with the pace of change? This talk will discuss current and future trends in teaching and give teachers ideas about how they can stay informed and professionally up-to-date in today’s fast-paced world.

Oer benefits and challenges
- 1. Open Educational Resources Benefits and Challenges By Nancy Sola-Llonch
- 2. Benefits of OER • Makes education more affordable • Provides more educational opportunities for those who may not have access or funds for traditional schools • Provides a broader and more diverse body of information and examples for instructors • Promotes community among educators
- 3. Challenges of OER • Educational materials lack the consistent and thorough peer review that traditional textbooks get • Requires time to create content, and to find and modify new material from a variety of sources • Some students may not have access to computers or technological requirements to access OER materials • There may be misconceptions by students/family that OER resources are not quality materials (compared to traditional texts) • Content may be outdated if creator does not keep it up to date.
