Implementing Large Scale OER - Strategies for Success
Download as pptx, pdf0 likes359 views
To successfully implement large-scale open educational resources (OER), it is important to determine whether to build new materials or adopt/adapt existing ones, involve all stakeholders in the process, and identify available support resources. Proper licensing of materials must be maintained and sharing processes within and outside the institution need to be established. An update strategy and structures to support maintaining materials are also key. Data on cost savings, student success, feedback, and other metrics should be collected. Patience is required as converting to OER is a long-term process.

1. Textbook prices have risen significantly in the last 12 years, putting financial strain on students and potentially impacting their academic performance. OER offers a free or low-cost alternative to traditional textbooks.
2. OER are teaching, learning and research materials that are in the public domain or released with an open license allowing free use, revision, remixing and redistribution. The "4 R's" framework outlines how OER can be reused, revised, remixed and redistributed.
3. Faculty are increasingly adopting OER not for financial kickbacks but because it lowers costs for students while allowing forAd

Tanja Vujicic, Senior Analyst and PISA for Schools Project Manager at the OECD spoke at the OECD webinar 'Turning insights into impact: What do early case studies reveal about the power of PISA for Schools?' on 20 June 2025
PISA for Schools is an OECD assessment that evaluates 15-year-old performance on reading, mathematics, and science. It also gathers insights into students learning environment, engagement and well-being, offering schools valuable data that help them benchmark performance internationally and improve education outcomes. A central ambition, and ongoing challenge, has been translating these insights into meaningful actions that drives lasting school improvement. A Visual Introduction to the Prophet Jeremiah
