“…The advantages are that it entices students to learn, has a high level of clarity in delivering material, is easily accessible, and supports student learning skills (Salehudin, 2020). Learning videos are a product of an increasingly modern and growing educational paradigm (Midha & Kumar, 2022).…”

Physics learning media that attract students' learning interests are difficult for physics teachers to find. This research aims to produce a physics vlog learning video on YouTube that is suitable for use, to find out the responses of teachers and students regarding the developed learning media, and to find out the method of video development. The research method used was RD with the Borg and Gall model. The feasibility of the learning video was obtained from the assessment by six material, media, and IT validators. Two validators represented each validation. The validation results showed that the learning video was feasible. The media, material, and IT experts validated the product with a percentage of 84%, 72.25%, and 98%, respectively. The teachers and students were satisfied with the learning video, as proven by the percentages of 85% for the small-group trial, 94% for teachers’ field testing, and 78% for the large-scale trial. The results declared that the product was feasible to use. Thus, the developed physics learning video can be implemented in the learning process as a learning medium.

“…A comprehensive analysis of the relationship between open access and OER revealed that these initiatives share the same connotation because they address issues of information in the public domain ( Gowran et al., 2021 ; Huang et al., 2020 ). The existing distinct literature affirms that the development of open access was more concerned about research ( Appavoo and Pagotto, 2014 ; Hermans, 2017 ; Papin-Ramcharan, 2006 ), while OER concerned teaching and learning ( Pawlowski, 2012 ; Midha & Kumar, 2022 ). Both OER and open access succeeded through utilisation of ICT for tuition and research provision in higher education institutions ( Huang et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The essence of OER is identified as a great enabler of affording open and free access to education ( Admiraal, 2022 ). OER affords wider opportunities for educational access globally and brings technological advancements in educational spaces ( Midha & Kumar, 2022 ). OER initiatives have been made possible by advancements in various technologies, such as internet bandwidth quality, accessible computers, and mobile computers ( Fulgencio and Asino, 2021 ).…”

“…The study further revealed that Academics in the sciences showed more promise of adopting OER as authors and readers of scholarly resources than their counterparts in the humanities, even though the study found minimal utilization among the academic staff. A study conducted by Midha and Kumar (2022) also established that the academic community of central universities in North India was aware of OERs and that the majority used OERs when they were required, with YouTube being the most frequently used OER. Furthermore, a study by Ogunleye and Okhakhu (2022) on "assessing academic staff awareness and use of open access resources in polytechnics in Lagos State" discovered that while academic staff members were aware of OERs, they encountered several obstacles when trying to use them, such as poor-quality articles, a lack of search abilities, and delayed network connectivity.…”

This study explored university lecturers 'feelings, awareness, and attitudes toward Open Education Resources (OERs). The study focused on two higher learning institutions based in Tanzania. It was conducted through a quantitative approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 52 lecturers who were purposively selected. The collected data were subjected to Statistical Product and Service Solutions version 20 computer program for calculation of descriptive Statistics. A descriptive analysis was used to analyze the obtained data, which were then presented in frequencies and percentages in tables. Findings indicate that the sampled lecturers from the higher learning institutions are moderately aware of the OERs. Regarding the feelings of lecturers over the use of OER, the collected data have revealed that a majority of the lecturers believed in OERs, are happy for those who adopt their OERs, and that they feel that OERs enhance the reputation of their institutions. In terms of lecturers' attitudes toward OERs, a majority of the lecturers strongly agreed that OERs are more beneficial to the academic and research communities. The study concludes that a majority of the study participants are moderately aware of the OERs and believe in them and that they are pleased when people adopt their OERs. The study suggests that there should be training and supporting lecturers who have unfavorable sentiments towards OERs so that they can change and use the program for their academic and research activities and advancement.
