students. There are many courses
available from prestigious schools like Yale, Stanford, Harvard, and MIT.
Education is available to anybody- not just those able to pay for classes.
Cons: The Challenges of OERLack of understanding of
what an OER is and how it can be used.

Quality assurance- anybody can post a resource.
