OER projects, unlike learning object initiatives, can accrue tangible benefits to educational institutions, such as student recruitment and marketing. Highlighting these benefits, it is argued, provides an opportunity to link OER initiatives to core institutional priorities. In addition to providing a possible route to financial sustainability, this characteristic of OER may help to foster the significant changes in practice and culture long sought by promoters of both learning objects and OERs.

"Open: Accessibility [edit] Open educational resources are an internet phenomenon, because currently only the internet can offer the almost zero-cost and universal access that characterizes OER. OER are generally available for public use, without password-protection or registration requirements. Accessibility can also be used in the narrower sense of ensuring that OER are accessible to disabled users. A higher degree of openness concerning accessibility relates to the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it. Underdeveloped or poor infastructure also need to be considered when thinking about open access. [5] Teachers without boarders are attempting to address this issue in developing nations by partnering with centers where internet is publicly available. They encourage Teachers with access to share with those without access [6]"
