David Wiley, a pioneer of open education resources who co-founded Lumen Learning , a for-profit company that supports OER efforts, sees one place where textbooks could actually be vanquished by openly licensed alternatives: community colleges. In fact, that day may not be far off. It was downhill from there, I guess.

Keys to the OER shift: – Community buy-in: The community wasn’t satisfied with the achievement levels and graduation rates. – Vetted OER materials: For every subject, K-12 teachers have a stockbook of vetted OER lessons. And the way that we value them is by engaging them in the process of teaching and learning.”.

There is currently a good amount of high quality, standards-aligned OER in K-12 with lots more coming online. With regards to OER, many states have approved, recommended, and/or endorsed the use of OER.

I have written before about the connections between OER and open practice and why I think open practice should be the goal, not merely the adoption of OER. While I hope and believe that OER can pave the way for open practice, it is not at all obvious that the use of OER is a necessary condition. The answer is scale.

One crucial part of the decision is out of the students’ hands, of course, since it is the professor who decides what textbook or material to assign—or whether to skip commercial textbooks altogether and assign a free or low-cost open educational resource, or OER.

If not, it’s probably because a definition of open like “free plus permissions” simply asserts that things must be free in order to qualify as OER. OER are free because you have permission to make as many copies as you like. Those high costs harm student learning. Want that awesome open video you just watched?
