Open educational resources (OERs) are free educational materials that can be used and reused without cost. Some benefits of using OERs include saving students money, giving instructors more options for course materials, and improving educational resources as more contributors are involved. However, challenges exist as well - OER materials may not always be of high quality despite being free, resources can become obsolete without maintenance, and not all student needs may be met with available open options. Quality assurance and awareness of what OERs are also present challenges.Open educational resources (oer) for teaching and learning

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia.

The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

The future of education with OER
- 3. Cost and Availability 0 Saves Money 0 Not only for students but for instructors 0 Levels the playing field 0 Resources are available no matter your income level or locale
- 4. Accessibility 0 Students and instructors worldwide have access to an incredible wealth of resources 0 Information can be found at the click of a mouse 0 Reaches a greater audience with the opportunity for peer review and greater improvement of information
- 5. Independent Learning 0 Learning can take place on your schedule through open online courses 0 Quality courses are available for free for those people that just want to learn more about a topic or prepare for an upcoming course 0 Low income students and those in countries and areas where education is limited can access resources through the internet
- 6. Challenges
- 7. Quality 0 Who is vetting the resources? 0 Is the source valid? 0 Determining the quality and relevance of the work can be challenging.
- 8. Understanding OER 0 The licensing of OER materials can be confusing 0 Knowing what and how materials can be used will help to rectify this. 0 Does there need to be an OER course on OER before resources can be used? (insert wink and smirk here) 0 Who is going to fund the creation of OER and it’s upkeep?
