The past decade has seen a steady growth in the disruptive potential of open educational resources (OER)—free, high-quality, openly licensed educational materials in a variety of media—to enhance access, improve outcomes and lower costs for students. There is evidence that the movement has reached a tipping point. With major support from the Hewlett Foundation and other funders, the focus has shifted to large-scale—program-wide or even enterprise-wide—adoption of OER as the core or even sole curricular educational content.

Why are MOOCs and OERs Must for Higher Education Leaders by Prasanna Bharti talks about the idea that online courses should, for the most part, be mainly for this students who continue on to further their education after High school. By doing so, these students could have certain enriching benefits. These benefits include: working with professors at well-known institutions across the globe or country, being in class while being anywhere else, and students would learn new trends and information to stay abreast. The article states that MOOC is an economic way to further an education. Finances are usually the number one cause students don't continue on to college after their high school graduation. This article spoke out to me because I believe that if there is any opportunity for someone who can’t afford the ridiculous expenses of college, they should go for it. My audience for this would have to be anyone who wants to further their education by economically attending college classes, even if they’re online. The great thing about this system is that it is offered in multiple languages. From English to French to Chinese; therefore, anyone can try it out.
