Abstract: The Open Educational Resource (OER) movement has grown steadily over the past decade with more institutions supporting teaching and learning resources for higher education. Literature cites cost savings, increased access, versatility, social justice, increased support, and collaborative networking. Despite these many benefits, the adoption of OER into curriculum development and course preparation has been slow. We led a facilitated discussion session at the 11th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy in 2019 on this topic to inform the development of a new OER repository at Virginia Tech, called PrepLab. Here, we summarize information gleaned from that discussion for why instructors do or do not use OERs in their classes. The conversation on the benefits and barriers unique to OERs can continue through this interactive poster.
