This paper describes the framework for development of OER-based learning materials in creation and assurance of the learning content; exploring OER repositories; assessments review and establishment of collective feedback sessions at Wawasan Open University (WOU). The considerations of the learning design for the computing courses with engagement of learning experiences and feedbacks from different stakeholders are taken into considerations as one of the major components in the OER-based course development phases. The course development stages (Creation Phase, Evaluation Phase and Production Phase) and the production of interim reports associated with each course units are presented in this paper. Virtual workshops initiated through live broadcast in collective feedback sessions comprising the evaluation of assessments by different subject experts and students are presented in this study. The developments of two OER-based courses are presented in this paper namely TCC121/05 Programming Fundamentals with Java and TCC241/05 Database Programming. The walkthrough of available OER resources and repositories which teachers, facilitators and learners can employ into their learning materials mainly Rice Connexions and MIT OCW are highlighted in this approach.
