Equal Education Opportunity through Open Educational Resources

Radharani Rit

Abstract: Open Educational Resources (OER) are essential for advancing equal educational opportunities since they make learning materials accessible to everyone without requiring payment or special status. Since OER aims to provide a variety of resources and learning opportunities for all students, it is intrinsically egalitarian. The use of OER goes beyond saving students money; the usage of open educational resources (OER) promotes student participation in the learning process and the inclusion of previously marginalized voices, creating a more culturally sensitive and responsible learning environment. Additionally, integrating OER into higher education courses can support efforts to make equity a part of institutional culture. Therefore, this paper tries to explore how OER can significantly contribute to providing equal education opportunities by making education more affordable, personalized, dynamic, and responsive to students' lived experiences.
