open educational resources (oer) k-12

implementing oer effectively can be challenging

the increasing accessibility of oer (open educational resources) creates a need for schools and districts to understand, evaluate, support, and monitor the types of freely available resources. without these systems and a strategy for oversight, teachers and students may not have the time or the framework to sort through millions of free resources that range greatly in quality and could be at risk for potentially misusing copyrighted materials. the ability to understand and appropriately use oer enables districts to offer students access to significant, relevant content.
