        abstract = {Quality in teaching and learning has always
attracted the attention of policy makers, educators, parents
and students. It is the bedrock of a quality output-the
student and it marks the effectiveness and efficiency of the
provider. The quality of teaching and learning is constantly
questioned due to many reasons, some of which could be
skills and knowledge of the teaching and learning process,
the competency of the educator in the content knowledge,
the passion and attitude of the educator vis-{\`a}-vis the
expectations of students. This phenomenon has become
more urgent as the availability of free electronic learning
resources is equated to higher quality. As a teacher and
also an e-learning educator, i find the sharing of open
educational resources or OERs freely ( as per CC License)
a right move towards increasing the quality of learning and
hence democratization of education. However there seems
to be some concerns as per the quality of the OERs. After
all the whole idea of the OERs apart from ?sharing
resources freely and making an institutional mark? is also
to ensure we overcome the constantly nudging issue of
ineffective learning. Now that OERs have been created, it
is important to evaluate the effectiveness of these OERs.
This paper will first look at some crucial definitions,
followed by a review of available efforts on quality of
OERs and end with some case studies and suggestions. (Abstract by authors)}
