OER and Publishing houses complement each other! A German view.

Open Educational Resources and publishing houses can actually complement each other. They both have their right to exist with their respective strengths and weaknesses.

In Germany every state has its own curriculum written by the state parliament. As soon as the ruling parties change, they change the curricula, which happens about every 5-10 years. Since teachers have to teach according to the curricula, they have to change their material respectively every 5-10 years, representing a lot of work for teachers. Notably in these cases both publishing houses and OER can be a huge support for them.
