This working paper thus builds on exploratory and forward-looking research in CERI and invites countries to consider the policy implications of the expansion of OER, its benefits and associated challenges. A small OER expert group was established to discuss the subject, link it to other relevant developments in the field, and develop a draft questionnaire for member countries in order to collect information regarding the policy context related to OER. The expert group met in June 2011 and for a second time in September 2011. The questionnaire was sent to the 34 OECD member countries in August 2011. It outlined a short informative note about the benefits and challenges of OER. The responses to the questionnaire are analysed in this document.}, url = {http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/open-educational-resources_5k990rjhvtlv.pdf?contentType=/ns/WorkingPaper&itemId=/content/workingpaper/5k990rjhvtlv-en&containerItemId=/content/workingpaperseries/19939019&accessItemIds=&mimeType=application/pdf}, }
