The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER). Some key benefits include cost savings for students through free online textbooks, time savings for instructors who can reuse materials created by others, and the ability for anyone to author OER materials. However, there are also challenges to consider, such as ensuring OER materials are accessible to those who are deaf, blind, or have other physical or learning disabilities. Other challenges involve technology limitations in rural areas and issues with maintaining and updating OER materials over time as they are stored in different online locations. The document concludes by noting there are mixed views on OER and both traditional and non-traditional students may face struggles in different ways when using these open resourcesTechnology transformation in education - Wishtree Technologies

This document discusses how teachers can integrate technology into the classroom to better prepare students for the future. It provides examples of several technologies, including webquests, podcasts, blogs, and email. Webquests allow students to explore teacher-selected websites and create a product reflecting their learning. Podcasts provide audio and video content on various topics that can enhance learning. Blogs are places for students to post thoughts about class topics. While email can be used for pen pals, teachers must check district policies regarding student email use. Overall, the document argues that incorporating these technologies can engage students and support inquiry-based learning that prepares them for life after school.An Introduction to Open Textbooks in BC

Open education resources (OERs) have several potential benefits but also some drawbacks. The pros of OERs are that they can supplement traditional textbooks and lectures, provide accessible materials for students worldwide, and reduce costs. They also allow for continual improvement through editing and feedback. However, some cons are issues with the quality of some resources, technological barriers for some students, confusing licensing terms, and uncertainty around long-term sustainability. The article discusses both advantages and limitations of using open educational resources in teaching.Guide to Establishing an Online Teaching Program

The document discusses how technological changes, especially the rise of social networking and Web 2.0, pose challenges to traditional education systems and institutions. While technology has advanced rapidly, social systems and institutions have been slower to change. This has led schools to become increasingly irrelevant to how young people communicate and share knowledge today. Personal learning environments have the potential to support lifelong learning in a way that is more flexible than traditional school models and helps facilitate learning across different contexts using various tools. However, PLEs will also challenge existing education systems and institutions.Strictly Digital - Social Media workshop slides

This document provides an introduction to open educational resources (OER) for faculty. It begins with a welcome message and sets the stage by discussing rising textbook costs, which have increased over 80% in the past 12 years. This creates barriers for many students, who often cannot afford textbooks. The document then introduces OER as a solution, defining them as teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use and adapt. It discusses the benefits of OER for both students and faculty, including lower costs and greater customization. Various OER projects and initiatives are also highlighted. Overall, the document makes a case for adopting OER to lower costs for students and remove barriers to their education.OER Benefits & Challenges

This document discusses the benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER) from the perspective of an instructor. It notes that OER allows instructors to enhance their lessons with open access materials like images, videos, and textbooks. However, the quality and appropriateness of these materials must be determined. If instructors make their own materials OER, then anyone can access and use them, but the materials may not be tailored for all audiences. OER also provides legal clarity around using and attributing open materials. While OER can save students money on textbooks, instructors may not be reimbursed for time spent compiling alternative materials. Overall, OER benefits include free access to world-class instructional content for allWhat Do Teachers Want? Reusing OCW in the High School Classroom

The document summarizes findings from workshops held with Boston Public School teachers to introduce them to OpenCourseWare collections from MIT, Tufts University, and UMass Boston. The key findings were that while teachers were interested in the materials, they needed more support and guidance on how to integrate and remix OpenCourseWare content into their own lesson plans. Follow up surveys found that teachers made use of the materials after the workshops and found Google Docs and other collaboration tools introduced in the workshops to be helpful. The document proposes several opportunities for OpenCourseWare consortiums to better support teacher adoption, such as developing curriculum tools and hosting online communities for sharing best practices.Open educational resources

Open educational resources (OER) have several advantages including easy access to course materials from multiple platforms for free, saving time and resources by sharing peer-reviewed content, and the ability to reuse and remix resources without copyright violations. However, OER also have disadvantages such as the time required to evaluate available content, breaking from the traditional textbook model which requires instructors to design more flexible courses, and needing further support for instructor and institutional awareness and training in using OER.Open Educational Resources - Production Workshop

The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER). The main benefits are: global access to a variety of free resources saves instructors' and students' time and money; allows for more creative curriculum development; and fosters collaboration and continually updated materials. However, key challenges are: sifting through resources is time-consuming; quality can be hard to discern; funding risks end if OER use; onboarding new staff; and ensuring internet/computer access. Overall, the benefits outweigh the challenges for providing open resources.Designing Open Linguistic Support

Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused without permission. OERs are available in the public domain or have an open license allowing reuse as long as the creator is attributed. Examples of OERs include textbooks, courses, images, and videos. OERs provide access to educational resources for free, saving students money while allowing universal access to education. However, the quality of OERs can be harder to determine and concerns exist regarding long-term funding and access to necessary equipment.Mary Lou Forward
