Abstract
This research indicates that higher education teachers in India have a positive attitude towards Open Educational Resources (OER) and are motivated to use and share their resources for altruistic reasons. However, many survey respondents considered that major barriers to use and adaptation of OER are lack of understanding with regard to legality of licensing and copyright systems. Training and capacity building are thus requirements for teacher adoption of OER. Developing appropriate policies for sharing educational materials, along with providing technical facilities within institutions would create enabling conditions to support teachers in using and adapting OER.
