Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely available educational materials that can be used without copyright restrictions. OERs come in many formats including textbooks, videos, and games. They cover a wide range of subjects from K-12 to higher education. Some key benefits of OER include free access and use, cost savings, easy updating of materials, and opportunities for customization. However, OER also present some challenges such as difficulty selecting high-quality materials from the vast options, ensuring acceptable academic rigor, and lack of availability for some specialized topics. Overall, while still new, OER are expected to become increasingly important educational resources.
Benefits and Challenges of OER
OER provide several benefits such as saving students money on textbooks, increasing accessibility of materials, and allowing easy updating of content. However, there are also challenges to using OER including the upfront costs of making materials open access, ensuring the quality of content, and the time required to find and evaluate resources. Licensing issues and misunderstandings about OER can also limit their adoption.
OER: Benefits and Challenges
Open Educational Resources (OER) provide benefits such as making education more affordable and accessible to students and teachers by allowing open use of courses and materials. However, there are also challenges to using OER, such as sorting through large amounts of information to find high-quality resources, ensuring students have the computer skills and access to use online materials, and needing ongoing support to implement OER successfully. Additionally, there is limited research comparing student learning outcomes between OER and traditional published materials.
Open Educational Resoureces (OER)
Open educational resources (OER) provide benefits such as low costs for students, easy access to materials, and the ability for instructors to design balanced courses. However, OER also present challenges including the time needed to understand licensing, find relevant materials, and vet quality. Adoption by faculty can also be difficult due to creating a new culture of open knowledge sharing. Accessibility standards may not always be met requiring revisions before adoption.

Open Education Resources provide benefits such as saving costs for students, increasing access to educational choices, sharing best practices, allowing peer review of course materials, and making resources more accessible. However, there are also obstacles to Open Education Resources like needing long-term institutional support for sustainability, difficulty finding high-quality resources, the irreversible Creative Commons license, materials not being consistently updated, and sporadic course content.

OER - Advantages and Challeges
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). It notes that OER can increase educational integrity, be easy to use, allow for educational collaboration, provide a more dynamic model with access for more students, and reduce costs for students. However, challenges include the time needed to search for materials, ensuring quality and relevance, organizing blended resources, limited options in some disciplines, and concerns around funding and licensing. Overall, the availability and use of OER is growing.
OER Benefits and Challenges
Open education resources (OER) provide educational materials freely for students and teachers to use, which can save students money and increase access to education. However, OER present challenges such as sifting through vast amounts of information, ensuring quality, requiring internet access, understanding licensing, and questioning the sustainability of OER over time.

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.
OER
Open educational resources (OER) are course materials that are freely accessible online to students and instructors. OER lower costs for students, provide flexible options for developing and sharing materials, and allow institutions to customize curriculum. However, students must determine the reliability of OER and properly cite them to avoid plagiarism. Instructors need time to find and appropriately use OER while meeting course objectives. Institutions must ensure consistency among OER courses and develop supportive policies. The document provides contact information for Andrea Levy regarding OER.
Benefits and Challenges of OER
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER). The benefits include students saving money on textbooks, increased access to course materials, longevity of accessible materials after a course ends, assurance that content use is legal, and reducing the dominance of textbook publishers. The challenges include difficulty finding appropriate sources, the time needed to adapt sources, lack of public understanding of OER, uncertainty around long-term funding for sources, and remaining copyright issues with some desired course content.

This document discusses the benefits of open educational resources (OER) and why universities should adopt open policies. It defines OER as teaching, learning and research materials that are in the public domain or released under an open license. The document outlines several good reasons for universities to offer open courses, including widening participation, internationalization, exposure, quality control and lifelong learning. It emphasizes that the role of universities is to provide relevant reference materials for communities both regionally and internationally as part of the transition to learning in the digital age and fostering interdisciplinary research.
Skills and limits of ICT uses in higher education students
This document summarizes a presentation on skills and limits of ICT use among higher education students. It provides an introduction and literature review on the topic. It then describes the research design which involved written narratives, interviews, and discussion groups with 75 students from the University of Vigo in Spain. The results section shows that students were most competent in using mobile phones, laptops, and smartphones. Benefits of ICT use included aiding academic tasks, information search, and communication, while difficulties included rural internet access, cost, and technical problems with devices and software. The conclusions identify ICT skills as important for employment and note challenges relating to technical, economic, and geographical factors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
