This document discusses the good news and bad news of Open Educational Resources (OER). The good news includes that there is a lot of educational material available online for free reuse and adaptation. However, it can be difficult to find suitable materials and additional work is often required to modify materials for one's own needs. While OER allows for collaboration and inspiration, it also poses risks like being taken advantage of or creating materials that make one obsolete. Overall, OER provides benefits but also challenges that must be considered.
