The main advantages are that OER can save students money, are easier to update with current information, and expand access and equity in education. However, disadvantages include potential issues with the quality and quantity of OER, lack of compensation for creators, impacts on consistency of curricula, and uncertainty around maintaining OER repositories long-term. The author views OER as an interesting challenge and is curious to see where further developments lead.
