Top 10 Benefits of OER in Oklahoma
INTERACTIVE
Electronic resources are multi-dimensional through links to websites, photos, charts, maps, videos, simulation tools and more.
EASILY UPDATED
While a traditional textbook cycle is 6 years, OER can be updated each year for both online and print versions at minimal cost.
RELEVANT TO OKLAHOMATeachers are choosing to include real-life examples from across the state to make lessons more relevant to students.
ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION
Through the cultivation process, teachers are working together to improve instruction and learning from each other.
GAINING SUPPORT
OER will soon be receiving support from the Oklahoma State Department of Education and the 15-state #
GoOpen
initiative.
ALIGNED TO STATE STANDARDS
Unlike textbooks created for a nationwide audience, OER can focus on specific state teaching objectives.
LOWER COST
Whereas a typical textbook costs $100 to $200, OER are free or, if printed, OER cost between $6 and $12 each.
STREAMLINED
OER do not include superfluous information that will not be covered in the course.
EASILY ACCESSIBLE
Students may access their resources on any device with an internet connection, such as computers, tablets and cell phones.
PERSONAL COPIES
Instead of sharing a class set of books, students receive their own resources that they may take home, write in and keep at the end of the year.Slide11
USDE #GoOpen Initiative
Launched: October 2015
“States are powerful collaborators in supporting and scaling innovation. With the launch of statewide #GoOpen initiatives, states are helping districts transition to a new model of learning by facilitating the creation of an open ecosystem of digital resources that can increase equity and empower teachers.”
Joseph South, Director, Office of Educational TechnologySlide12

Develop and maintain a statewide repository solution for openly licensed resources.

Learning Registry.
