Open in Higher Education: Student Experiences and Perceptions of OER
View through CrossRef
In this study, the authors focused on the experiences of students in an undergraduate sample attending a Canadian University and using open education resources (OER). The goal of the study was to better understand the relationship between the level of experience students have with different types of OER and how that experience impacts their confidence in using OER in their courses. It was found that confidence and experience were positively correlated with each other for some types of OER (specifically, the use of websites and podcasts), and that in general, greater confidence using one type of OER is related to greater confidence with other OER types. Instructors may consider using a wider range of OER types in their courses.
