ABSTRACT
Although less well established than in other parts of the world, higher education institutions in German-speaking countries have seen a marked increase in the number of open educational resource (OER) initiatives and in government-supported OER funding in recent years. OER implementation, however, brings with it a unique set of challenges in German-speaking higher education contexts, stemming in part from copyright laws and use permissions that have made sharing and reuse of educational materials less prevalent. The article discusses how instructional development centers, including university didactics centers (hochschuldidaktische Zentren) and e-learning centers, can play a key role in faculty uptake and adoption of OER, and concludes by proposing a set of OER implementation guidelines that leverage the expertise and interfacing role of these centers in German-speaking countries.

Directrices para aprovechar de la didáctica universitaria para apoyar la implementación de REA en Europa Germano-hablante Resumen: Aunque menos establecido en otros partes del mundo, los contextos de educación superior de habla alemana en los últimos años han visto un marcado incremento del número de iniciativas y financiaciones por parte de gobiernos vinculadas a los recursos educativos abiertos. La implementación de los REA, sin embargo, conlleva una serie de retos únicos para los contextos de educación superior germano-hablante derivados en parte de las leyes de copyright y permisos de uso que han hecho que el reparto y la reutilización de materiales educativos sean menos frecuentes. El artículo aborda cómo los centros de instrucción, incluyendo los centros de didáctica universitaria (hochschuldidaktische Zentren) y los centros de e-learning, pueden tener un papel fundamental en facilitar el uso y la adopción de REA y concluye proponiendo un conjunto de directrices para la aplicación de REA que aprovechen la experiencia y la interconexión de estos centros en países germano-hablantes.
