Hi everyone,
I'm researching the impact of open That's Not My Neighbor educational resources (OER) on the quality of online teaching and learning experiences.
I've seen many people say that OER helps save costs and increase flexibility for students. However, when applying it to online courses, I have some concerns:
• How can I assess the reliability and quality of an open resource before incorporating it into a course?
• What specific criteria have you used to compare OER with copyrighted content on the same topic?
• In an online learning environment, does OER truly improve learning effectiveness, or is it simply a more economical option?
I'd like to hear from instructors, students, and course designers here about how you've tested, selected, and evaluated OER when using it in online teaching.
