Interactive OER Encourages Active Learning

Open educational resources (OER) provide many benefits over traditional textbooks. Interactive elements like quizzes, flashcards, and embedded videos make learning more immersive. Audio features like pronunciation guides can enhance language learning, while interactive images and self-assessments encourage active learning and student engagement. Instructors can design their materials to include built-in coursework and submit students’ feedback and quiz results, providing a clear view of overall class progress.
