Use of open educational resources by university teachers: options for organization and support possibilities

the main goal of open educational resources (OER) is to provide free access to digital educational materials and the ability to use them without restrictions, which opens up broad prospects for digital education. In addition to the ability to search for and access suitable materials, this requires the ability to collaboratively create and share content. Based on an analysis of the behavior of teachers and students in higher education institutions with regard to the use of OER, this article examines the expectations and requirements of this target group for the technical infrastructure of OER and the support needed to use OER. To this end, interviews were conducted with teachers and students about their practical experience with OER, in particular, in creating, using, and editing educational materials. Based on these results, design options and support capabilities were developed.
