The economics of content has changed. Everything that is published is digital, which allows backend files to be stored, distributed, and published for near zero cost. This combined with the ease of use in which files can be shared across multiple devices on the Internet and the availability of open licensing, provides teachers with resources to be innovative in what they use and how they use it to improve student learning.

A Creative Commons license provides a simple and standardized method to give public permission to share and use your creative work. It allows people to share, use, and build off of the work of others. OER in education allows for personalized learning and increased engagement for both educators and students. Because it is customizable, it affords teachers flexibility when designing their lessons and students the opportunity to create OER while learning. Although it does take time to create OER, it is free or has minimal cost with benefits that are immeasurable.

Students would take more courses, but traditional textbooks are getting in the way. Increase in OER is an increase in enrollment of students taking the course. Once you move to Open Content, you get to move to open pedagogy and open practice. What can I do in my class if the content is open that I can't do if the content is closed? |
