TITLE :
A BASIC GUIDE TO OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND IT’S IMPACT ON E-LEARNING
ABSTRACT: Open Educational Resources encompasses resource materials, tools and practices that are free of legal, financial and technical barriers and can be fully used, shared and adapted in the digital environment, which expanding educational opportunities is more possible now than it has ever been before. Through the Internet, learners can find information instantly on virtually any topic, teachers can share their knowledge with students on another continent almost as easily as in their own classroom, and educational materials can be disseminated to a worldwide audience at virtually no marginal cost, which allows anyone to freely use, adapt and share the resource—anytime, anywhere. “Open” permissions are typically defined in terms of the “5R’s”: users are free to Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix and Redistribute these learning materials.
