Openness in Higher Education Plays an important role in driving
educational innovation & transforming HEI
Is the fundamental value & critical attribute HEI
Offers opportunities for sharing ideas, collaborating between institutions, educators, and learners locally & internationally (Wiley, et al., 2009).

Definitions of OER
OER is teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license (such as Creative Commons) that permits their free use or re-purposing by others (Atkins, Brown, & Hammond, 2007, p. 4)
Is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the World Wide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge (D’Anton, 2012)

Redefined of OER OERs are any type of educational resources
in either print or digital format that reside in the public domain and have released under an intellectual property license or open license such as Creative Commons that permits users with 5Rs openness framework: Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute (Wiley, 2015) to support knowledge building, sharing, and learning to the worldwide community.

What consider to be OER? Course materials, websites, textbooks,
audio materials, podcast, video, multimedia applications, visual materials, archived discussions, simulations, or animations, maps, ancient or historical manuscripts, software, and any other tools or technique used to allow access to knowledge.

Current Status of OER Over 150 universities in China
participate in China Open Resources
11 universities in France have formed the ParisTech OCT project
7 universities in Japan have formed the Japanese OCW
7 universities in U.S. with OER projects, and offer over 1400 courses (Wiley, 2006)

Benefits of OER Freedom of access. Freedom from proprietary systems and
corporations. Save time and effort for content development. Co-creation empowers more collaboration and
creativity. Sharing development costs among institutions. Contributes to the local and global community. Accessibility of resources previously unavailable to
specific groups of people. Lowers costs to students.

Challenges of OER Quality varies. Varying degrees of time commitment. Teachers sometimes not rewarded by the system for
their efforts. May not meet accessibility requirements for persons
with disabilities. May need a high degree of customization (or
localization). Technical requirements vary and some require you
to use a particular software. Requires varying degrees of continual financial
support. Licensing and obtaining copyright clearance can be
difficult. Some institutions may be concerned about “giving it
away”Reference: Zaid Ali Alsagoff (2013). Embracing OER & MOOCs to Transforming Education? & SteveYuen.Org

Current Issues of MOOCs All of these MOOC platforms appear to justify their status
by promoting curricula that are equivalent to campus-based courses, with a strong focus on content delivery (Online Newsletter, 2012).
Acceptance of open academic practice and difficulty in establishing an academic identity in an unpredictable virtual environment (Mackness, Waite, Roberts, & Lovegrove, 2013).
Most MOOC discourse reflects strategic, institutional, economical, social and technological concerns. A deep pedagogical debate is still missing (Guardia, Maina, Sangra, 2013).
