OER (Open Education Resources), Resources for learning – Experiences from an OER Project in Sweden

Having previously worked with teaching in many developing countries where IT budget is non existence I have been a fan of Open Source resources for a long time. It is refreshing to read European projects whereby OER is being introduced. I think that some lessons and principles from this project can apply to the ISTUS group.

The project aims were to share the experience from the introduction of OER in Higher Education and raise awareness of technology in teaching and learning. When reading the article it is interesting to learn of the project team discovery of the importance of decision makers’ participation in the events and the need for institutional strategies (all be it for open resources).
