From the reading of Open pedagogy 1, which is written by ROBIN DEROSA and RAJIV JHANGIANI, the purpose of open education is to build a platform where every user can learn, discuss, teach, etc., and provide information for educational practice and structure . At the same time, the article mentioned that the current lack of enthusiasm for learning among college students may stem from their own laziness, not that they do not have enough savings. The OER system is student-driven, it drives the student’s ability to enroll, study, and complete courses. All of these efforts are student-centred, as OER also reduces student spending on learning by reducing high textbook costs. And after I use OER in some other courses, I think it really reduces my spending on education and provides more comprehensive and honest content for me to learn and apply. At the same time, the article also mentioned the difference between community colleges and high-level universities. As I was a student at camosun college, the difference I felt was many. Due to the limited faculty, it is often difficult for Camosun College to satisfy students’ thirst for knowledge academically. After I transferred to UVIC, everything changed dramatically. The difference in the teaching staff of the two schools led to a big difference in my knowledge intake. The knowledge I learned at Camosun College was often only a small part of the teaching content provided by uvic.
