A Process for Developing Sustainable Open Educational Resources to Support Computing Education
Abstract
The adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) has been encouraged as a strategy to support teaching and learning in Computing. However, many OER face limitations related to obsolescence or lack of prolonged use (sustainability). A literature review revealed several methodologies for creating OER, but few incorporate sustainability into their development. This work proposes a process for creating sustainable OER, ensuring their relevance over time. To evaluate the proposal, a case study was conducted simulating the development of an OER using the proposed process. The results were positive, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of adopting sustainable practices in OER creation.References
