1. Quality of information
"(Another) One of these Things is not like the others." by JD Hancock is licensed under CC BY 2.0
Not all OER are the same. There are issues of content consistency and quality.

2. Quantity of resources
"Desert" is in the Public Domain, CC0
Suitable resources are scarce in some subject areas.

3. Compensation for research work & time
"An American Builder" by Palmer, Alfred T. is in the Public Domain
Shouldn’t people be compensated for their hard work?

4. Consistency of curriculum/educational experience
Can OER negatively impact the consistency of the curriculum and learning opportunities from student to student? Are all students getting what they pay for?

5. Sustainability of OER repositories and collections – who maintains them?

Who’s going to watch over and maintain collections of free and open materials? How and by whom will these caretakers be compensated?

It’s an interesting and challenging journey. Can’t wait to see where it leads us.
