This document discusses the benefits of open educational resources (OER) and open practices in education. It outlines 5 key benefits of OER: 1) teachers have full control over customizing resources; 2) access to customized resources improves learning outcomes; 3) OER enable authentic learning activities; 4) OER foster collaboration among educators; and 5) OER demonstrate the service mission of educational institutions. The document argues that OER can increase access to education, improve learning, and give educators more autonomy over instructional materials.

- 15. “…openness is thesole means by which education is effected. If a teacher is not sharing what he or she knows, there is no education happening. In fact, those educators who share the most thoroughly of themselves with the greatest proportion of their students are the ones we deem successful. Does every single student come out of a class in possession of the knowledge and skills the teacher tried to share? In other words, is the teacher a successful sharer? If so, then the teacher is a successful educator. If attempts at sharing fail, then the teacher is a poor educator. Education is sharing. Education is about being open.” Openness as Catalyst for an Education Reformation, David Wiley, EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 45, no. Educational 4 (July/August 2010): 14–20
