Oer slides fall 2013
Open educational resources (OER) provide opportunities for affordable education by reducing textbook costs and allowing wide access to educational materials from top universities. However, finding and ensuring the quality of OER can be challenging given that the educational establishment and public are still unfamiliar with OER. While OER aim to share best practices globally, their future impact remains uncertain as adoption has been slow.
OER presentation
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OERs). The benefits are that OERs reduce student costs, provide international access to education through online resources, and allow access to prestigious institutions' materials. They also boost recognition for those who publish OERs. However, challenges include initial public skepticism, difficulties maintaining resources without funding, ensuring quality among large amounts of content, potential lack of resources in some areas, and instructors being wary of sharing non-revocable content.

Obstacles and benefits to faculty using Open Education Resources. Created as a course assignment for the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges.
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.
Open Educational Resources
Open Educational Resources (OER) provide significant benefits but also present some challenges. OER are teaching and learning materials that are freely available through open licensing. They save students money by reducing or eliminating textbook costs while giving access to high-quality course content. OER help students better prepare for classes and retain knowledge after courses end. However, ensuring the quality and sustainability of OER can be difficult as review processes may not be transparent and resources risk becoming outdated without maintenance. Accessibility of OER for all students also requires consideration.
Open educational resources (OER)
Open educational resources (OER) provide benefits such as lowering or eliminating costs for students, fostering pedagogical innovation beyond traditional textbooks, and improving accessibility for people with disabilities. However, OER also presents challenges like requiring time and money from educators to develop and maintain materials, needing regular access to computers and the internet for students, and potentially varying in quality as content can be created and altered by anyone without resources for editing or fact-checking. Additionally, research on the educational outcomes of using OER is still limited.
OER presentation
OER stands for open educational resources, which are free educational materials that can be used and reused under open copyright licenses. Some key pros of OER include reducing costs for students and improving access to education, allowing materials to be reused and updated over time, and giving authors a chance to receive peer feedback. Potential drawbacks include the lack of standardized quality control for OER materials, the inability to retract open licenses, and challenges ensuring accessibility and long-term sustainability of resources.

Open educational resources
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). The benefits include free and widely accessible materials, cost savings for students and educators, expanded access to learning, increased student interaction and collaboration, opportunities for peer review and improvement of materials, flexibility to tailor materials to specific class needs, and support for multiple learning modalities. The challenges are that finding and reviewing quality OER can be time consuming, it may not always be clear if materials can be reused, and there can be technological issues in accessing materials for both educators and students. Overall, the author sees more pros than cons to using OER and is excited to be part of a system that prioritizes affordable and diverse learning opportunities for students.
Tagging the academic library
Social tagging involves using multiple keywords instead of hierarchical folders to organize bookmarks. A study at Anglia Ruskin University explored student awareness, use, and perceptions of social tagging. A survey found that just under half of students use social tagging sites, primarily Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube daily for personal rather than academic use. Focus groups preferred the library's subject guides for facilitating access to authoritative resources but found user-contributed tagging systems like those at Penn and LSE unreliable and not worth the time and effort to contribute to. The study concluded libraries should focus on applications that facilitate access to resources rather than user participation and collaboration and provide education on social tagging.

Open educational resources (OER) are educational materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, share, and adapt. OER can help address challenges in higher education by increasing access and reducing costs. There are many potential benefits to using OER, including increasing visibility for departments and institutions, improving pedagogy, and extending the reach of educational materials globally. However, adoption of OER faces constraints such as lack of awareness, technical barriers, and concerns about quality and copyright. Creating a culture of openness along with addressing technical, financial, legal, and individual factors can help increase use of OER.

The Who, What, Why, Where, and How of Finding and Adopting High Quality Open Educational Resources
Join us for an interactive workshop on finding and adopting high-quality open educational resources (OER). The cost of a college education continues to rise dramatically and the high price of textbooks has been identified by students as a major barrier to achieving their academic goals.
Hear from faculty in California and other states who have adopted OER to reduce costs for students and enhance teaching and learning. You’ll get a chance to test drive searching for open textbooks in popular OER repositories and gain an understanding of what makes an effective open educational resource. Finally, we’ll brainstorm how to encourage other stakeholders at your college to support successful OER adoptions.
Bring a laptop or tablet and be prepared for some fun teamwork!
Presenter: Una Daly, director Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources.

It outlines benefits of OER such as lowering student costs and allowing customization. The document provides examples of open textbooks and repositories where instructors can find high-quality OER to incorporate into their courses. It also discusses how the Online Education Initiative in California is working to increase access to online courses through the use of OER.
Open Educational Resources Presentation by Jessica Custis.pptx
The document discusses the advantages and challenges of open educational resources (OER). Some key advantages include making education more affordable by reducing textbook costs, allowing for continuous improvement of resources as they can be easily updated, and ensuring quick access to materials anywhere. However, challenges exist as well, such as variability in the quality of materials, lack of incentives for authors to keep content current, and risks of copyright issues or losing digital resources. Overall, OER present both opportunities and obstacles for implementing open resources in education.
Keynote #OER15 (Wales)
Dr. Cable Green presented on strategies for taking open educational resources (OER) mainstream. He discussed the value and benefits of OER, challenges such as low awareness and discoverability, and opportunities to address demand, supply, and capacity issues. Some strategic priorities proposed were developing open policies, building communities, and focusing on open practices and pedagogy. The presentation called for discussion on an OER implementation strategy to accelerate mainstream adoption.

Hardy2010
The document discusses the HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme, which provided £5.7 million in funding for 12-month pilot projects to open up existing high-quality UK higher education resources. The programme aimed to make resources freely available and reusable under open licenses. It supported projects in three strands: institutional, individual, and subject-based. Projects were required to deposit resources in Jorum Open and be evaluated. The document provides details on the programme and shares information about related open education initiatives.
New Identities: Adapting the Academic Library

Open Educational Resources.pptx
This document discusses open educational resources (OERs). It defines OERs as teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available or have an open license allowing free use and modification. The document outlines benefits of OERs such as expanded access, ability to modify resources to better align with learning outcomes, and continually improving resources. Challenges of OERs include issues with quality, effort required to adopt, static formats that are difficult to modify, sustainability concerns if resources are not updated, and the time required to find, evaluate, adopt, adapt, and create OERs.
