Mainstreaming Use and Adaptation of Open Educational Resources in Indian Higher Education: A Model

Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) have emerged as one of the most innovative teaching and learning practices. In India, there have been several sporadic attempts to promote the use of OER, directly or indirectly, by launching policies such as Digital India and ICT in Education. Nevertheless, a culture of contributing to OER and integrating the use of OER in educational transactions in both face-to-face instruction and distance education remains at an initial stage. Teachers are key stakeholders in use and adaption of OER, and hence a need to understand how teachers’ predispositions and espoused views about pedagogical practices and innovations determine their OER practices. / Poster ID 105
