With a Little Help From my Friends?

On their legendary album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lennon and McCartney aptly put it: you get better with a little help from your friends. Working with open educational resources is a striking illustration of this motto: learning materials that teachers share can be used and improved by others. In practice, however, the use of open educational resources does not happen automatically. For example, insufficient confidence in the quality or difficulty in determining the relevance of a resource can hinder its reuse.
