OER has been active in our university for a while now, but only to a select few. It seems very difficult for the movement to gain any traction. When I talk to people about OER, the response is "that's a nice idea" and that is a far as it goes. There seems to be the perception if it free it is less than, not a legitimate education.

Recognition for transfer credit for OE courses completed is difficult when a student wants to move into a traditional institution. I jut wonder when we will realize that education is education! regardless of whether it is free or not!
