This paper briefly outlines the development of open educational resources (OER) in the contexts of ODL in Asia and Europe. It then brings up quality issues of OER and highlights the need for the present study. This paper describes the quality assurance for open educational resources that anyone who wants to study could study anywhere, anytime with the Internet. In the context of increasing these new forms of cross-border provision of education, national and international quality assurance of OER became an issue. Given the best quality of materials does not automatically induce learning and especially in e-learning. Quality standards, for providers and receivers, are an issue that is involved in learning and teaching. Compare to conventional learning materials, OER could be explicit that it works in favour of quality.
