Open educational resources (OER) allow instructors to feel like super heroes by delivering high-quality, low-cost content. OER can be taken, reused, revised and remixed as long as its open license is followed. OER is compiled and edited by instructors for other instructors, presented predominantly online, and constantly updated. However, OER faces challenges such as issues with technology acceptance, inconsistent platforms between repositories, the time required to find, review and adapt content, reluctance to evaluate or share third-party content, questions around content ownership, and a lack of centralized repositories.

Challenges to Using and Contributing • Technology—OER is viewed as a new technology and doesn’t have wide to OER acceptance as publisher content • OER Repositories—Are not built on the same platform such as HTML vs. XML and sharing to an OER Repository requires manual recreating of content since SCORM uploads are not standard. • Time—takes an enormous amount of time to find OER, confirm the creative commons licenses and then adapt the OER for your specific needs. • Quality Assessment—OER is voluntary, there is a reluctance to “share” and the reluctance to “accept other work as equivalent as publisher created work” Super Villain by tikigod published under a CC BY-NC-ND-2.0 license • College and University Property—who actually “owns” the content created within a college or university system. • academic freedom often prevent the acceptance and sharing of open access licenses • Following or Creating a different CC BY license for each OER published • No Central OER repository--Videos: YouTube, Vimeo or the Internet Archive, Audio/Podcasts: Soundcloud or the Internet Archive.
