OER creation

Open educational resources, which function on the basis of MediaWiki software, often face biases in regard to their quality. In this respect, Wikipedia is the most frequently discussed, as it faces significant mistrust in the academic environment. This criticism is often justifiable in light of the fact that OER WMS frequently lack a guarantor for the text as a whole, as is the case with classic textbooks, study materials or scientific publications. On the other hand, it is possible to ensure quality using correctly established processes. The user of these resources should also be sufficiently acquainted with the processes used to ensure the quality of the given resources and the potential risks he/she can encounter. Generally speaking, this type places greater demands on the user in terms of recognizing and evaluating quality. At the same time, the reader becomes the arbiter of this quality and, in the event of insufficiencies, can also edit the resource and thus help increase its quality.
