2. Genre

When creating OER WMS, it is advisable to decide on a genre that you’re planning to create. As was mentioned previously, these resources can to a certain degree represent a new type of genre if we make use of the possibilities they provide. It is possible not to take advantage of these advantages and simply “transform” printed study materials into digital form, but in this case it is not necessary to create this type of resource. OER WMS are suitable for resources which, for example, function like encyclopedias (Wikipedia); in regard to university materials, they can be used for creating various resources based on printed study materials (in the Czech environment, for example, Wikiskripta).
