In this lesson, we will acquaint you with the basic terms and characteristics that a resource should fulfill in order for it to be considered “open” and with the advantages and disadvantages of open educational resources.
-
The technical environment and the way OERs function can be signs of quality from a technical standpoint; however, the content that functions within such OERs is also an integral part of evaluating quality. In this chapter, we’ll have a look at the technical parameters that should be taken into consideration when creating OERs.

Having an idea of what you’re going to create is important not only before you begin, but throughout the whole creation process as well.

When using OER WMS, it is helpful to ask yourselves the following questions: “What are we expecting from the resource, and what information needs do we plan for it to fulfill?” and “What is the purpose of the given resource we want to use?” By realizing our needs and the specific qualities of the resource and the way we choose it to be used, we can find the most suitable OER WMS for our needs with regard to required quality (e.g. a university student shouldn’t use sources to study for examinations that are primarily designed for lower levels of education).
