Write the definition of OER in your own words, one strength, and one weakness as you see it.

OER, from my perspective, is a free collaborative educational conglomerate. With the advent of khan academy which is supportive of the SAT and learning worldwide, OER provides a framework and context which will be consistent, reliable

And stronger than the sum of its parts. Students will gain access to OER materials immediately. It is printable & the customizable and modifiable nature provides for dynamic teaching which is critical to student interest & success!

One advantage that I see is cost so these resources are available to each student.

One disadvantage is that when not customized, the material can be theoretical and not as relatable.
