Commercial OER Average
• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, college textbook costs have risen 88% since 2006.• So if a book cost $100
dollars in 2006, that same book costs $188 now• Where the cost of OER is
minimal and declining with more connectivity.

PRO - Freedom to Customize• Some OER materials will fit
perfectly with current curriculum.• Most materials will need to be
“FIXED” to work within your own class.• Most OER materials licensing

Cons – First Two• Time to find what you want/need• For help see video at right• Knowledge of customization to fit your needs• This is a technical obstacle. • Many times one is required to learn
several tools to make EVERYTHING work and flow as needed.

Con - Quality• Unlike publishers who monitor the quality of there product, there is very little monitoring for quality assurance.• Anyone can provide a resource.• Several hundred rules or criteria have been collected and they are available for a structural approach to creating quality OER if creators care to follow these criteria. Most do, but there is very little over sight.• Who will keep the resources updated? – Still many ?s
