Adoption and Diffusion of Open Educational Resources (OER) in Education

Abstract: The concept of open educational resources (OER) is becoming increasingly prominent in education.However, research circles around defining OER, content and forms of OER, technological features of OER, and the importance of the issue or lack thereof.

“…In the next section and shown in Table 6, the participants had to indicate their agreement with the frequently postulated benefits of using OER, which we derived from the broader discussion in the OER literature (Delgado et al 2019;Otto 2019;Pawlowski & Bick 2012;Wiley & Hilton 2018). While the results demonstrate a high level of agreement with all of the benefits, it is noteworthy that abstract concepts such as sharing (4.29) and exchange (4.25) are exceptionally high.…”
