OERs (Open Educational Resources) provide free educational materials that can make education more accessible for students, as they do not require expensive textbooks and allow learning anywhere. However, not all students have access to computers or know how to use online resources, and there is a learning curve for both students and teachers to use OERs. Additionally, initial funding for starting OER-based classes may not be sustainable long-term.
