This document summarizes research on teachers' adoption and use of open educational resources (OER) in higher education. It conducted interviews with 11 teachers and 2 managers at a university to understand their awareness and perceptions of OER. It found that teachers need more support in understanding what OER are and how to share and reuse them. Specifically, teachers wanted a simple overview of available OER in their subjects to help them consider how to incorporate these resources. The document also analyzed how teachers evaluate OER based on criteria like pedagogical design and subject matter knowledge. Overall, the research provided insights into the current state of OER adoption among teachers and their need for institutional policies and support to better integrate open resources into their teaching.

6. WHAT ARE TEACHERS NEEDS OF SUPPORT TO ADOPT OER?
I dont understand!!!! by clement127/CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
7. For me its like, where does it start
and where does it end? When is
something open?
AWARENESS
8. There are phenomenal web lectures
available via institutes in Australia as
well as in Colorado, USA and well,
based on that, I think we have to stop
giving lectures by ourselves.
AMBITION
9. As a manager I also think, now you have
educational resources {..} and if youre a teacher
you think I like it, but a little bit more of this, a little
less of that. A teacher will adjust it and before you
know it the teacher spends a lot of time on it.
I am not going to promote resources we have
and offer it openly available in a national
meeting. I dont know why, but I just feel that it
has costs us a lot of time to create it.
SHARE AND REUSE
10. If I could receive a simple overview of all available
open educational resources in subject [] then it
would trigger me to think about the way I teach or
how I could use these materials.
I do not now what the rules are [for sharing]. I think
the first step must be to create an institutional policy
on that.

Hoe schatten docenten OER op waarde?
Verschil tussen diverse typen OER? (textboeken, cursussen, losse videos, afbeeldingen e.d.)
Heeft samenwerking met collegas toegevoegde waarde? Bij ontwikkelen van materiaal wel, maar geldt dat ook voor herontwerp?
