Courses have been planned to include OER, and courses and programs have been designed to be OER. The purpose – to promote awareness – is to define OER, to understand the concept of OER, to address the positive and negative use of OER, and to case-share examples of OER use to recognize the real picture. Recommendations will be made to assist educators and language leaders in their decision-making challenges.
