“…This shift not only allows the learner to save time while trying to find information, but also allows individuals to save money and avoid the cost of physical books. In addition, the increase in technological use has led to the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) which are free learning materials such as educational software, textbooks, activities, and videos enabled at no cost through technological tools (Geith & Vignare, 2008;OpenStax, 2021;UNESCO, 2021). These free educational resources and technological advancements help reduce the existing educational and learning divide between those who can and cannot afford learning material or education due to their socioeconomic status (Ally & Samaka, 2013;Geith & Vignare, 2008).…”

Distance education has the benefit of making educational resources accessible regardless of time and place, satisfying the diverse demands of students (Geith & Vignare, 2008). On average, students retain 25-60% more of material learned online, compared to only 8-10% presented in a classroom (Gutierrez, 2016).…”

“…The concept includes free (that is no cost is charged) and open (for update and modification) resources such as digital content, open-source software courses; course-related materials such as syllabi, lecturers, lesson plans, and assignments; textbooks; or collections of digital media including libraries of images and videos (Geith and Vignare 2017). The truth about OER is founded on the academic traditions of freely and openly sharing and extending knowledge (OECD 2007).…”
