After reading <Defining OER-Enabled Pedagogy>, I found that there are 5R activities: Retain銆丷euse銆丷evise銆丷emix and Redistribute. This unique advantage of open education allows students to re-evaluate their own work, completion, and so on. He can give students maximum creative freedom and create their own way of learning and thinking. Students are often able to show a stronger sense of being a student, which is incomparable to traditional education. For example, in our traditional education, we finish homework, but we have a better idea, at this time we are often difficult to modify, so open education is so flexible. At the end of the article, the author mentioned that the initial investment cost of open education is more than that of traditional education. As a businessman, I think it is an investment. Zero to one is often the hardest of all things, but once the development is complete, the subsequent costs gradually decrease. Finally, you will make a profit.

Hi Xu!
Thanks for your sharing. 5R is really the best benefit OER brings to us. It extremely decreases the price for students and schools. Thanks to it, more and more students can use free resources and can change them into different types for free. It also help to improve their creativeness. Yaqi

Totally agree! I like your idea that cheaper education is a kind of investment for students that hope they can become successful in the future, that offers them a chance to achieve their life goal through the education. OERs can also increase students’ creativity because they are free to create their own OER or update any that is allowed.
