Open Education Resources:
My enthusiasms and apprehensions

2. I am enthusiastic about OER because it
will:
• Enrich my course content
• Save my students money
• Assist me in my goal to integrate
components of a flipped classroom
• Provide current information
• Allow my students and me to be more
globally connected

3. I am apprehensive about OER because:
• It may frustrate some of my students
• It will require that my students have
regular access to a computer and the
internet
• Information may not be retained as
much as in books
• Links disappear out of the blue!
• It takes so much bloody time!
