OER or open educational resources typically online or digital that are offered at most of the time free or at low cost. One of the pioneers of OER is curse-aware from MIT. I think that OER posses a great opportunity to increase the knowledge of every day people. Some people has no chance to attend college, due to either their financial situation or personal decision Despite the reason why people did not attend higher education schools, knowledge should be available to all, not just to those who can afford it.
In my opinion MIT decision to open their content resources to everyone is what every college should do.MIT open course-ware allows the public to have full access to their courses materials. Many colleges around the nation are doing the same thing. Now colleges that have open their courses to everyone will have the chance to go in their content in a deeper lever because students will be able to read and learn from the material before they even get into the classroom. Students now will be responsible to read the material in advance and prepare to be challenged in a dipper level level of knowledge by the professors.
There are other sources to obtain OER on line such as EDUDEMIC. It provides us with valuable resources about Japan's crisis. It could be a really good topic to discus in your class and take advantage of the free resources available on line.
