Impact of OER on cost and quality of course materials : a study in postgraduate distance education courses in the university of the Philippines open university

Abstract

The University of the Philippines Open University started raising awareness on use of Open Educational Resources (OER) in 2011. Three fields of disciplines (Education, Health and Development Studies) and 48 courses were offered (2015-2016). These were reviewed and analyzed to determine extent of use of OER in course packages. The presentation breaks down the data in terms of discipline and use of OER: revisions, translations, remixes; as well as the types of learning activities in which they were applied. Results of the study include perceptions of faculty and students as to the (highly rated) relevance and utility of materials adopted and adapted.
