OERs ~ GREAT for students who already have spiking costs in tuition and fees
Great for instructors who want to freely share in the world of ideas without tensions about ownership and cost
OERs can ONLY increase in choice, ease, and quality It’s going to be an expectation in the future rather than a
“perhaps” as usage becomes more widespread It’s a WONDERFUL way to help preserve democracy and
speak truth to power!
