The document discusses issues relating to quality and open educational resources (OER). It addresses concerns about quality of OER versus traditional resources, and debates whether quality should be evaluated based on process or product. It also examines challenges to wider adoption of OER in educational institutions, including barriers posed by policies around intellectual property and rewards structures that do not adequately incentivize sharing of teaching materials. Overall the document questions whether academia can take control of its own future with respect to open education or will remain constrained by current practices.
