Open Education Resources (OER) are educational materials that can be freely used and modified by others under an open license. OERs provide benefits such as reducing education costs by allowing students to access resources without purchase, sharing high-quality teaching content to prevent instructors from relying on outdated materials, and assisting in course development. However, challenges include potential issues with the quality of some resources, questions around long-term sustainability without continued funding, misunderstandings about open licensing terms, and lack of understanding around appropriate OER usage.
