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.
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.
Open educational resources
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER). The benefits are that OER provides access to more quality materials, saves students money, allows teachers to customize resources, provides education for all motivated learners, and raises standards through peer review. The challenges are that finding and redeveloping courses takes time, quality is difficult to judge, reluctance to share materials exists, financial costs are required to maintain resources, and internet access is needed.
Need for Personal Learning Networks in the 21st Century
With the rapid growth of social networking sites influencing education, policy makers and educators face numerous challenges in order to meet the growing demands and expectations of the learners. Our learners are born and brought up with technology and they expect the same life style in their education system. As educators, we must recognize the potential for ameliorating student engagement inside and outside the classroom using these technologies.
Facebook has been used as a tool in education throughout the world. With many of its advantages in the daily life of our students, there are many risks involved in it. Edmodo, on the other hand, is purely a personal learning network (PLN) developed by educators with education in mind. It has a similar interface to Facebook and is free of charge, it is easy to create the account or a classroom, and has simple functionality. It is very safe since an educator can limit who may join the group; i.e. students are invited explicitly.
This professional development workshop explores the numerous ways in which Edmodo can be an ideal tool for meeting the ever-growing challenges to support student motivation and participation inside and outside the classroom. It is a short result-based training course adapted to meet the needs of 21st century teachers who wish to acquire new skills or enhance their competencies in real-time situation.
Benefits & Challenges of Using OER
Open educational resources (OER) provide benefits such as free or low-cost textbooks for students, easier collaboration between faculty of different institutions, and increased accessibility of higher education. However, OER also present challenges like the time needed to search multiple platforms for materials, inconsistent quality without standardized review, lack of guaranteed long-term funding, potential disadvantages for students with low technology skills, and confusing licensing options.
Making it Work...Taking the Frustration Out of Course Reserves
The document discusses the benefits of using an electronic course reserves management system over a traditional paper-based system. The key benefits mentioned include improved tracking and communication for faculty requests, the ability to clone classes and avoid refilling out forms each semester, and easier student access through a single online menu. The system also allows for better statistics collection and communication between library departments to improve services.
OER Benefits and Challenges

Oer
Open Educational Resources (OER) are free educational resources that can be used, distributed, and shared without copyright restrictions. OERs include resources available on websites like openwa.org for Washington educators and openculture.com which links to free online courses. OERs have advantages like reducing corporate influence in education, increasing social justice and access for all students, and giving instructors more flexibility and agency in choosing materials. However, there are also downsides like information overload in finding high quality OERs and potentially devaluing knowledge by equating free with less value.

Are ETextbooks Cost Effective?
This document discusses a study on the cost-effectiveness of electronic textbooks (eTextbooks) compared to print textbooks. The study examined eTextbook adoption rates and budgets at academic libraries in English-speaking countries. It found that most libraries invest 10% or less of their budgets in print textbooks and eTextbooks, with collections still over 75% print. While libraries plan to invest more in eTextbooks, significant challenges remain around student and faculty acceptance as well as high switching costs from print to digital. The document calls for further exploration of libraries' roles in providing access to and developing open eTextbook options.

Benefits challenges of OER
Describes the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER) for students, instructors, colleges, and universities.
Oer benefits and challenges
Open Educational Resources (OER) provide benefits such as making education more affordable and accessible to those without funds or access to traditional schools. OER also offers a broader range of educational materials for instructors. However, OER faces challenges like lacking the thorough peer review of traditional textbooks, requiring time to develop content from various sources, and potentially offering outdated content if not properly maintained. Some students also may not have access to technology needed for OER materials.
Advantages and disadvantages of open educational resources(
OERs provide free educational materials that can be accessed online, expanding access to learning for students regardless of economic status or location. There are many advantages to using OERs such as lower costs compared to traditional education, flexibility for instructors to adapt materials, and opportunities for global collaboration. However, there are also disadvantages like variability in quality, concerns about sustainability, and costs associated with equipment, internet access, and maintenance needed to utilize OERs.
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.
OER benefits and challenges
What are the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER)? This presentation will outline five benefits and five challenges and provide a quick glimpse into the possible future of OER.
Integrating technology into the curriculum
This document discusses technology integration in education. It defines technology integration as combining hardware, software, and curriculum content to enhance learning. Some key benefits of technology integration include motivating students, providing unique applications, and enabling new approaches to instruction. However, barriers like lack of training, budget constraints, and resistance to change can impede technology integration. The document provides strategies for successful integration, such as identifying learning objectives, selecting appropriate tools, and allowing students opportunities to work with technology. It also gives examples of how specific technologies like productivity software, the internet, and digital cameras can support different subject areas.
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 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.
E-Learning

Reflection on Open Education Resources (OER)
Open educational resources (OERs) provide several benefits according to the document. OERs are affordable and help address equity issues as they reduce or eliminate textbook costs for students. They also allow for collaboration between instructors who can share and develop course materials. Additionally, OERs promote retention as students can revisit course materials whenever needed to access the most up-to-date versions. OERs support professional development as well by building skills in areas like copyright and information literacy. However, the document also notes some challenges to using OERs, such as determining quality, issues of accessibility, lack of support for instructors, lack of funding incentives for authors, and lack of general awareness about OER options.
Storybird
Storybird is an online literacy tool that allows students to create and share short stories inspired by images. It encourages reading, writing, collaboration, and helps students engage with concepts. Teachers report that Storybird helps reluctant readers, supports project-based learning and meets common core standards. It also develops creativity, communication skills, and allows students to work at their own pace. Resources and tutorials are available to help teachers incorporate Storybird into their classrooms.

Bringing Faculty into the Conversation AAC&U 2014
This document discusses the need for faculty involvement in decision-making regarding new technologies and issues related to the future of liberal education. While conversations may appear to be ongoing, faculty are not always adequately included. Issues are sometimes not framed in terms of their relationship to liberal education goals and pedagogy. To address this, faculty who work in liberal education need to be properly involved in discussions. Additionally, potential changes need to be considered in the context of an institution's mission and how they can help students achieve important learning outcomes. Frameworks like NSSE benchmarks and AAC&U's essential learning outcomes and high-impact practices can help guide discussions.
