The theoretical benefits of Open Educational Practices (OEP) have become understood in the academic community but thus far, the use of OER has not been rapidly adopted. We aim to understand the challenges academics face with in attempting to adopt OEP, and identify whether these are related to or stem from the functionalities afforded by current repositories of OER (ROER). By understanding what academics and experts consider good practices, we can develop guidelines for quality in the development of ROER. In this article we present the findings from a study surveying academics using OER and experts who develop and/or work with ROER. We conclude by suggesting a framework to enhance the development and quality of ROER. date: 2014-02-13 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.5944/openpraxis.6.1.81 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: crossref elements_id: 1019678 doi: 10.5944/openpraxis.6.1.81 lyricists_name: Atenas Rivera, Javiera lyricists_name: Havemann, Leo lyricists_id: JATEN47 lyricists_id: LHAVE18 full_text_status: public publication: Open Praxis volume: 6 number: 1 issn: 1110-757X citation: Atenas, J; Havemann, L; Priego, E; (2014) Opening teaching landscapes: The importance of quality assurance in the delivery of open educational resources.
