A Survey of OER Implementations in 13 Higher Education Institutions
McGreal, Rory
International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, v20 n5 p141-145 Dec 2019
Institutions in many jurisdictions are in the process of implementing Open Educational Resources (OER). This short paper is based on a report commissioned by Contact North/Contact Nord as part of their Pockets of Innovation series to better understand the impact of OER implementations at diverse institutions. The investigation looks into 13 different OER implementations at the postsecondary level: three community colleges and one university. Four are in the United States; three universities and one Indigenous college in Canada; and five international universities--in Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia. The format of the investigation followed a standard five-point inquiry model: (1) Opportunity; (2) Innovation; (3) Benefits; (4) Challenges; and (5) Potential.
