Open education resources (OER) could become the primary digital learning resource in higher education, according to a survey of over 202 educators undertaken in America by Cengage Learning. The survey claims OER technology use is expected to triple from 4% to 12% by 2021. Science, technology, engineering and maths courses unsurprisingly yielded the highest use of OER technology, and more than 77% of faculty members who do not currently use OER systems expect to do so in the near future.
