Open Educational Resources in Computer Science: Opportunities and Challenges
Open content and open access to resources are important factors in the innovation of Computer Science education. This paper presents a study aimed at gaining an understanding of the needs of Computer Science educators in terms of Open Educational Resources (OER): what kind of resources they need, when they need them, how they use them, and what are the barriers and the enablers for using OER The work contributes to the research on OER utilization and discovery. The aim is to raise the awareness and promote a practical transition process towards an adequate model that aligns the interests of all stakeholders.
