Using the PRISMA guidelines, 18 studies were selected and a thematic analysis approach was used to identify research trends, thematic shifts, and future directions. Five themes emerged: open pedagogy and co-creation; integrated pedagogical strategies; empirical achievement and equity; behavioural and identity typologies; and barriers to adoption. The findings indicate a clear shift...

Mon, 25 May 2026 23:38:05 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2912 http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2911 Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to enhance equity in education. Many regions and education systems thus prioritise integrating these low-cost or free resources into mathematics teaching and learning. However, teachers face challenges when integrating OER into their instructional practices to prepare students for educational success. They need frameworks and guidelines to use OER and related practices (i.e., Open Educational Practices; OEP). Accordingly, we conducted a year-long...

These systemic barriers are rooted in the uneven geographical development produced by legacy Neoliberal frameworks, manifesting today as profound infrastructure deficiencies, most notably a digital divide that maintains the...

It is intended to make research outputs freely accessible and openly licensed for responsible reuse, recognizing that openness operates within clear ethical, legal and social boundaries. They include those associated with respect for human rights and privacy, intellectual property, Indigenous and local knowledge, security, and...

Most resources you find online and in print are copyright restricted, not open. OER are like any other educational resource such as textbooks, videos, courses, or lesson plans. There are costs and effort associated with creating and maintaining educational resources, whether they carry an open license or are copyright restricted. But... Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:35:24 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2908 http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2907 The rapid emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has ignited profound legal and ethical debates within open and online education. At the heart of these debates lies a critical question: who owns AI-generated content, and is it protected by copyright? For educators and content developers, GenAI presents both a remarkable opportunity and a significant source of anxiety. It offers access to a vast commons of digital material for inspiration and use, yet many feel they are navigating a legal...

Unfortunately, students are less likely to purchase the required course materials now compared to 2010. A free, interactive text was developed for an introductory chemistry course for non-STEM majors. This involved remixing existing texts and incorporating interactive activities to engage students during the learning process and provide opportunities for them to gauge their learning. Based on the results of a student survey, 82% of... Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:58:06 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2906 http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2905 Die Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) und die Kirchliche Pädagogische Hochschule (KPH) Wien/Niederösterreich positionieren sich klar im Bereich der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und den Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), insbesondere auch durch den Einsatz von Open Educational Resources (OER). Beide österreichischen Hochschulen haben sich ambitionierte Nachhaltigkeitsziele gesetzt, wie etwa die Klimaneutralität der TU Graz bis 2030, und verfügen über eigene OER-Policys sowie... Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:49:50 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2905 http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2904 In order to conduct effective research in open education, one needs skills in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. To address this need, a DEIA expert provided consultation to the members and mentor of a fellowship for open education researchers. After completing the fellowship, the researchers were asked to complete a survey about DEIA research skill development during the fellowship and their perceived challenges in DEIA research. Fellows (N = 42) across cohorts indicated growth in DEIA... Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:34:13 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2904
