OER Benefits and Challenges
Open educational resources (OER) offer several benefits but also present some challenges. OER provide cost savings for students, can help build rapport between instructors and students, and demonstrate principles of open knowledge sharing. However, OER materials may not be available for all disciplines or courses. Additionally, their quality is not always assured in the same way as traditional published materials, and some students prefer print. Sustainability of OER is also a concern if sources are not regularly updated.
Potential Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Open Educational Resources
Educators have more flexibility in their course curriculum when using open educational resources (OER) compared to traditional textbooks. OER allow instructors to select customized content without being restricted to what is in a single textbook. Additionally, using OER increases student access to higher education by lowering textbook costs, which is a major barrier to attendance and degree completion. However, OER materials may have issues with quality, accessibility, and navigability that require extra time and effort from educators to evaluate and address.
The Benefits and Challenges of OER
This document summarizes the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) in teaching. It notes that OER can provide significant cost savings for students, a wide variety of perspectives, digital accessibility, and continued access to materials after a course. However, challenges include finding high-quality resources, confusion about OER, issues of accessibility, uncertainty about long-term funding, and ensuring students actively engage with the materials. Overall, the document concludes that while implementing OER takes time and effort, it can expand teaching resources and is an important trend for the future of education.
OER Presentation
- Open educational resources (OER) provide financial savings for students by reducing the cost of textbooks and course materials. However, OER may be of lower quality than traditional resources and require additional work from instructors to evaluate and integrate into their courses.
- OER can give instructors access to new, alternative teaching materials and force them to be more creative in their lesson planning compared to relying on pre-existing textbook content. However, this added work burden is a drawback.
- While OER democratizes education by making materials widely accessible, some students may still lack reliable Internet access to take advantage of online OER. Accessibility for disabled students is also a concern.
A Situative Metaphor For Teacher Learning The Case Of University Tutors Lear...
This document summarizes a research study that developed a new metaphor for understanding how university tutors learn to grade student coursework and maintain academic standards. The researchers observed tutors grading coursework while thinking aloud, then interviewed them. They analyzed the data to develop a metaphor that positions tutors' learning as an "interplay between vertical, public knowledge and horizontal, practical wisdom knowledge domains." This metaphor aims to better capture tutors' complex, situated learning than the common "theory-practice gap" metaphor. It views tutors as developing professional knowing through negotiating their practice and identities within communities.

Oer benefit and challenges
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). The main benefits are that OER reduce costs for students by providing free course materials, increase access and availability, and can be customized and continuously improved to meet student needs. However, challenges include ensuring the quality and currency of OER, the time needed to find appropriate resources, and lack of ancillary materials or assessment tools compared to traditional textbooks. OER also may not be available in multiple languages or culturally appropriate for all students.
How Much Choice is Too Much Choice
Providing a learner-centered perspective is in keeping with modern constructivist approaches to learning, and this means that courses must be designed with learner attributes and choice in mind. Concerns over accreditation and the need for accountability at the post-secondary level seem to contradict freedom of choice and flexibility of term work, but this need not be the case. This paper outlines numerous strategies for offering choice and flexibility to students in a freshman programming course. Approaches include flexible deadlines, the ability to re-submit work that has already been assessed, writing tasks, contributing to course content, bonuses for embellishments and extra work, and choices about which problems to solve. All of the strategies have been employed in classes, and students’ reactions as well as effects on student engagement and quality of work are described.
OER for Educators

The document outlines benefits of using OER, such as reduced costs for students, flexibility for educators to customize materials, and easy updating of current content. Challenges of using OER include ensuring quality and currency of materials, a lack of supplemental resources, and the time required for educators to discover and modify OER content for their specific needs. The document provides sources for further information on both benefits and challenges of adopting OER.
Course Proposal: Accessibility Challenges in Education
This document proposes a new graduate-level course called "Accessibility Challenges in Education" (ACE). The 16-week hybrid course would count as an elective for various education degree programs at Oklahoma State University. It would examine challenges to educational accessibility and how to improve experiences for learners with limitations. The course would be 50% online and 50% face-to-face to give students experience with different learning environments and enhance their technology skills. Taking the course in a hybrid format would also provide students flexibility to balance other commitments. The document outlines technical specifications for delivering the course online through the university's learning management system and analyzes expected students.

Open Educational Resources (OER).pptx
This document discusses open educational resources (OER), including benefits, challenges, and potential solutions. Some key benefits of OER are lower costs for students and faculty, increased convenience of access, opportunities for collaboration, and ability to customize materials. However, challenges include varying levels of technology skills among users, lack of quality control and standards, and lack of incentive and support for faculty creation of OER. Potential solutions proposed are having colleges recognize OER work equally in tenure decisions, promoting OER through academic organizations, and seeking targeted government and private grants to fund OER development.
Oer benefits and challenges
Dale McCormick argues that open educational resources (OER) provide economic and engagement benefits for students and instructors. OER allows students to access course materials on the first day of class without worrying about costs, potentially improving retention. Instructors can easily edit and customize OER materials to best suit course outcomes. OER also offers opportunities to collaborate with other institutions and enhance professional development. However, McCormick notes that finding high-quality discipline-specific OER and gaining acceptance of OER may present challenges.

Educational NegligenceTaya Hervey-McNuttStrayer Univer
This summary analyzes an article about educational negligence. The article discusses how negligence in education can negatively impact students' school lives and future ambitions. It addresses the issue of educational negligence in three main points:
1) Educational negligence can take many forms from poor teaching standards to ignoring student needs and attendance issues. It seriously impacts students.
2) A study in South Korea found that neglecting culturally diverse students was linked to relationship issues, dropout rates increasing over time. Neglect harmed peer and teacher relationships for these students.
3) To address educational negligence, teachers must ensure all students complete assignments by attending all lessons to fully cover required material. Parents and teachers must work together to meet students' needs for

The document advocates for OER as a step toward more equitable and accessible education.
Curriculum assessment Instruction
The document discusses the relationships between curriculum, instruction, and assessment. It defines curriculum as the structured set of learning outcomes and objectives that make up the "what" of teaching. Several criteria for selecting curriculum content are described, including significance, utility, validity, learnability, and feasibility. Assessment is defined as collecting information on student achievement related to curriculum expectations. Instruction refers to teaching methods and styles used to deliver the curriculum. The quality of instruction depends on several factors, and a close link is needed between curriculum, instruction, and assessment for effective teaching and learning.
Differentiation Instruction
General Curriculum is the established plan of instruction for all students in a Local Education Agency. It is based on state standards and allows students with disabilities access to the same curriculum as other students at a level they can understand. Teachers must make accommodations so all students can learn from the general curriculum. The document discusses differentiating instruction, providing accommodations, and the need for special education and general education teachers to collaborate to meet the needs of all students.
Prof Hannele Niemi Key Note at TEPE 2009 Conference

Students cannot rely on the availability of less expensive, used copies of textbooks. Some courses will require the most recent editions of textbooks. Equity The increasing cost of textbooks will further widen equity gaps in education, by ensuring some students are unable to access required course materials. Rising textbook prices may contribute to some student populations extending their time in college and/or increasing their debt.
- 4. Benefits of OER Student engagement Instructor concern about rising cost of textbooks may increase student “buy-in” to courses. OER materials may mix modalities to better reach diverse student populations. Instructor flexibility Instructors may update materials as needed, rather than being locked in to the rigid structure of a textbook. Relevance OER materials can be revised to reflect changes within academic disciplines, professions, and other social contexts.
- 5. Challenges of OER Equity OER materials do not address the digital divide (both in the U.S. and internationally). Accessibility Not all OER materials are fully accessible. OER materials that are not accessible may have modification restrictions in place, limiting an instructor’s use of that resource. Quality Not all OER materials are created equal (nor peer reviewed). It is up to each instructor to assess the quality of the OER material. Further, each source must be assessed for quality.
- 6. Challenges of OER Instructor workload OER materials represent a significant time commitment from instructors. This includes (but is not limited to): Locating relevant OER materials Assessing quality of OER materials Assessing accessibility of OER materials Modifying OER materials (if needed and allowed) Correctly attributing all OER materials Stigma It is possible that the use of OER materials may label a course as “easy” or “less than academic” by one’s colleagues and peers.
