Recursos educativos abiertos como recurso al aula de clase

Abstract

Open educational resources (OER) are the main tools to generalize access to knowledge, promote equity, inclusion and sustainable education worldwide, many reasons are mentioned to promote them such as the wide access and the possibility of reusing such didactic material under free licenses and the positive impact on economic and geographic barriers. But their implementation is full of obstacles such as digital literacy, inappropriate institutional policies, especially in places like Latin America. Globally, countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa and India have shown good growth in the implementation of OER in the classroom at all levels of education. In Ecuador, the efforts of organizations such as UTPL are an initial but significant development in the fusion of these resources. Global content is characterized by platforms such as edX, Coursera and Khan Academy, whose content is mainly focused on science, technology and mathematics, so there is a need to diversify the subject matter. In general, OER improve the quality of education due to their adaptability in education, although this can only happen effectively through long-term commitments to infrastructure, teacher training and clear public policies.
