       OER are important because it is cost free. the cost of textbook rising at a rate higher than other consumer good. many students simply cannot afford to buy a textbook.OER material allow a faculty member to pull only strong material into their class new sections and chapters can be added and enhance the creating a work stronger than the original.

Teachers may use and open lesson plan on line to add an enrichment activity for students or to provide additional practice for students struggling with a concept. a teacher with a limited science lab might use open online videos to craft demonstrations of classic experiments

OER can:

  • Increase access to education.
  • Provide students with an opportunity to access and plan their educational choices.
  • Showcase an institution's intellectual outputs.
  • Accelerate learning by providing educational resources for just in time, informal.
  • Add value to knowledge production.

Disadvantages of using OER:

  • Quality/Realibility concerns-Some online materials can be edited by anyone at anytime.
  • Limitations of copyright property protection-creators should be careful what material they make.
  • Technology issues- slow internet connection.
