Great overview of the challenges & opportunities of #OER in STEM: "... just one quality OER alternative would have the potential to be adopted widely...If we invest in creating good quality STEM OERs, widespread adoption is realistically achievable." #OpenUBC
#OpenEd offers benefits for both students & instructors—but in STEM fields there are unique challenges too.
