N2 - Open Educational Resources (OERs) are teaching learning, and research resources that have been made available such that they can be used, shared, and modified freely. They have already had a significant impact on Higher Education (HE), and have great potential for providing further positive transformation. However, OER adoption has not been universal, with several obstacles and barriers still hindering its wider influence. This paper examines the current situation of OERs, as reported in the literature, listing some of the challenges to their adoption, and discusses current and possible strategies and steps to alleviate the difficulties facing OER advocates.
