“…These evaluation checklist indicators represent good practices in OER platforms to support online learning by Malaysian educators. This findings was align as Malaysia has high potential for implementing effective OER delivery, as long as students' and academics' awareness and acceptance of OER are addressed adequately (Ibrahim et al, 2021).…”

Open Educational Resources (OER) enables free accessible knowledge to everyone. Higher education institutions in Malaysia have embarked on the OER movement to harness the full potential of open access to educational content in supporting online and distance learning, especially during the current pandemic COVID-19 outbreak. The emergence of OER have successfully made a significant amount of new and existing teaching and learning resources during the current pandemic. For educators and academicians, another significant advantage to OER is the ability to pick and choose of each resource they want to use. However, OER development in Malaysia is still in its infancy which leads for more studies on discoverability, accessibility, and retrieval. This study was conducted to investigate the current landscape of OER initiatives in Malaysian higher education institutions. The study employed a web analysis of 36 top Malaysian universities within the QS Asia University Ranking in 2022. The web analysis (February-July) encompassed a set of checklists on OER standard criteria as: platform hosting, accessibility search interface, a resource guide, alignment subject resources/course, OER repository, copyrights, and licensing, and OER metadata. The findings indicated merely 75% of the universities have initiated OER through their web presence. Only 37% of the universities fulfilled at least 4 criteria from the checklist indicating a need for higher learning to be more proactive in supporting OER development. This may include partnerships with other stakeholders such as libraries, faculties, and ICT centers to fully participate in the OER development following directions toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on achieving quality education.

“…Previously, UNESCO has recommended Open Educational Resources (OER) to mark an important progress and development toward the goal of quality education, as well as accessing and sharing of information freely. The recommendation contributes to the development of open and inclusive knowledge societies in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which focus on inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting opportunities of lifelong learning for all (Ibrahim et al, 2021). Open educational resources have the capacity to promote and disseminate knowledge among teachers.…”

“…Nevertheless, despite that several HEIs have joined the OER movement, there is yet a widespread understanding regarding OER and their open licences. These are due to the lack of specific guidelines and awareness (Ibrahim et al, 2021). As reported in Malaysia, the National eLearning Policy (DePAN 2.0) supported the implementation of OER by focusing on designing open courseware and developing specific guidelines.…”

Open education resources (OER) have emerged as an innovative platform that is expected to aid teaching and learning process, particularly in online or distance learning. Despite the promises, OER adoption in educational institutions has been less than encouraging. In fact, there are numerous barriers to it, many of which come from within the OER user community itself. As a result of these barriers, students have been discouraged from using the OER platform. Therefore, the study was undertaken to examine the barriers in OER application by the students. The study also intended to assess the practicality of OSeL Bin which is an application developed to assist the OER. The study involved Universiti Teknologi MARA students who were particularly enrolled in a business communication course. It was to empirically determine how well this application supported their teaching and learning, especially in completing assignments, both with and without OSeL Bin. The results showed several OER hurdles such as capabilities, exposure, and support systems within the educational institutions themselves that restricted and discouraged the students from utilising OER in their teaching and learning. Positive feedbacks regarding OSeL Bin's effectiveness were obtained, particularly in completing the students' assignments on time. These were reported via the use of TAM Model by looking at the application's ease of use that contributed to the initial intention of using and finally implementing the OSeL Bin into the students' teaching and learning processes.
