Quality

A Comment On Quality

Often, in conversations surrounding the evaluation of OER, questions emerge related to quality. A typical question might be: Is the quality of the OER as good as commercially produced copyrighted course material? As with anything, OER content, formatting, and quality will vary. It is good practice to consider HOW quality is defined and measured. David Wiley addressed this in a 2013 blog post: On Quality and OER.

“For educational materials, the degree to which they support learning is the only meaning of quality we should care about.”
