The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OERs). The benefits include free or low-cost learning materials, the ability to easily update resources as information changes, a broad selection of topics, and global internet access. However, the benefits can also present challenges, such as not all students having internet access, no guarantee resources will be regularly updated, difficulties finding specific topics, potential language barriers, and the risk of reducing teacher-student interaction. In conclusion, the author believes OERs are a good concept but need more work to make the resources consistently high-quality, up-to-date, and accessible across cultures.
