Witch Way Do You Fly 
On The Benefits and 
Challenges Of Open 
Educational Resources 
(OER) ? 
By: Gail Baldwin
The Benefits are like 
working with the Good 
Witch … 
Access to 750 FREE quality online 
courses from leading universities 
Yale University 
Harvard University 
Stanford University 
Johns Hopkins University 
Carnegie Mellon University 
University of California at Berkeley 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The Benefits are like 
working with the Good 
Witch… 
Preparation for course and retention 
of knowledge by… 
*enhancing opportunities for 
students who took the course and 
prospective students. 
*allowing the opportunity to take a 
look at the course prior to taking 
course and being better prepared. 
*allowing the opportunity to revisit 
course to refresh and reinforce what 
was learned in the area studied.
The Benefits are like 
working with the Good 
witch… 
OERs are free! 
OER does not need large amounts of 
$$$ for compensation for using it. 
OER allows all students to have the 
opportunity to learn. 
OER allows instructors to discover 
alternative ideas for presenting and 
teaching subject matter. 
OER gives instructors various 
options to point students to 
alternative explanations for further 
study.
The Benefits are like 
working with the Good 
Witch… 
OER gives more clarity and/or 
certainty regarding reuse of 
materials. 
OER gives peace of mind when re-using 
someone else’s materials. 
OER resources are licensed to allow 
the sharing of content. 
OER eliminates the need to contact 
the author about making use of 
his/her work provided that what you 
want to do falls within the ‘open’ 
license.
The Benefits are like 
working with the Good 
Witch… 
Some other benefits of OER are… 
*OER showcases research. 
*enhances a university’s reputation 
as well as that of the teacher or 
researcher. 
*shares best practice internationally. 
*allows for peer review. 
*maximizes the use and increases 
availability of educational materials. 
*raises standard of educational 
resources by gathering more 
contributors.
The Challenges are like 
being around the Bad 
Witch… 
Some concerns with Quality Assurance: 
Finding resources that are quality and 
relevant. 
Institutions going through internal 
review process before releasing them 
to the public are not open in the sense 
that the user of the resource can 
follow them. (text from Open Educational 
Resources (Links to an external site.) by Jan Hylen, 
CC-BY (Links to an external site.)).
The Challenges are like 
being around the Bad 
Witch… 
Another Quality Assurance 
concern: 
There is a lack of research data 
focusing on comparing the amount 
students learn from OER compared 
to the amount they learn from 
prevailing publisher materials. 
Whether the material is free or 
expensive, quality does matter.
The Challenges are like 
being around the Bad 
Witch… 
Concerns of Sustainability with OER: 
In the past, many were dependent 
on one-time start-up funding. 
Is likely to cease after a few years 
and maintaining the resources will 
be difficult and expensive. 
Maintenance of resources will 
become obsolete and quality will be 
lost. 
Is critical to figure out.
The Challenges are like 
being around the Bad 
Witch… 
Lack of public understanding with 
OER: 
Since OER is only about 10 years old 
and recent in education. 
Due to hugh paradigm shift and 
attitude change. 
Because few educators understand 
the potential and feel threatened. 
To recognize open licenses (Creative 
Commons) clearly recognize and 
reinforces intellectual ownership, 
making sharing easy while 
protecting the copyright.
The Challenges are like 
being around the Bad 
Witch… 
Non-revocable Creative commons 
licenses means what? 
While Creative Commons licenses 
are completely non-revocable, it is 
technically not a concern but rather 
something that OER providers might 
find challenging in releasing their 
works since work under the license 
can be pulled but will not affect the 
rights associated with any copies of 
your work already in circulation 
under a Creative Commons license.
Educators today need to understand 
the benefits and challenges of OER. 
Don’t let the goblins get you this 
Halloween. Know witch is witch.

Open Educational Resources (OER)

  • 1. Witch Way Do You Fly On The Benefits and Challenges Of Open Educational Resources (OER) ? By: Gail Baldwin
  • 2. The Benefits are like working with the Good Witch … Access to 750 FREE quality online courses from leading universities Yale University Harvard University Stanford University Johns Hopkins University Carnegie Mellon University University of California at Berkeley Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • 3. The Benefits are like working with the Good Witch… Preparation for course and retention of knowledge by… *enhancing opportunities for students who took the course and prospective students. *allowing the opportunity to take a look at the course prior to taking course and being better prepared. *allowing the opportunity to revisit course to refresh and reinforce what was learned in the area studied.
  • 4. The Benefits are like working with the Good witch… OERs are free! OER does not need large amounts of $$$ for compensation for using it. OER allows all students to have the opportunity to learn. OER allows instructors to discover alternative ideas for presenting and teaching subject matter. OER gives instructors various options to point students to alternative explanations for further study.
  • 5. The Benefits are like working with the Good Witch… OER gives more clarity and/or certainty regarding reuse of materials. OER gives peace of mind when re-using someone else’s materials. OER resources are licensed to allow the sharing of content. OER eliminates the need to contact the author about making use of his/her work provided that what you want to do falls within the ‘open’ license.
  • 6. The Benefits are like working with the Good Witch… Some other benefits of OER are… *OER showcases research. *enhances a university’s reputation as well as that of the teacher or researcher. *shares best practice internationally. *allows for peer review. *maximizes the use and increases availability of educational materials. *raises standard of educational resources by gathering more contributors.
  • 7. The Challenges are like being around the Bad Witch… Some concerns with Quality Assurance: Finding resources that are quality and relevant. Institutions going through internal review process before releasing them to the public are not open in the sense that the user of the resource can follow them. (text from Open Educational Resources (Links to an external site.) by Jan Hylen, CC-BY (Links to an external site.)).
  • 8. The Challenges are like being around the Bad Witch… Another Quality Assurance concern: There is a lack of research data focusing on comparing the amount students learn from OER compared to the amount they learn from prevailing publisher materials.
