Abstract: OER is a bandwagon for some, but a reality for many educators, language leaders, and administrators in education institutions. Courses have been planned to include OER, and courses and programs have been designed to be OER. The overall purpose of this discussion will be to promote awareness; specifically, it will be to define OER, to understand the concept of OER, to address the positive and negative use of OER, and to case-share examples of some OER use to recognize the real picture. Implications and recommendations will be made throughout the session to assist educators and language leaders in decision-making challenges. (100 words)
