Dreamweaving Open Educational Practices

The Open University of Sri Lanka
Impacts on teaching and learning
We integrated OER in many forms such as teaching aids, learning materials, assessment
tools, reading materials etc. By the use of quality and updated OER we were
able to notice many positive impacts in our teaching-learning process. We were
able to engage students in the lessons in an easy way and felt teaching was an interesting
task after the integration of different OER. Students’ motivation significantly
increased and they became active and self- regulated learners. Further, we felt
proud and happy to help our colleagues by creating OER in Tamil, as well as sharing
and using OER with them.
Our future plans
In future we plan to share the knowledge we obtained about OER with others by the
following activities.
1. Conduct workshops at other schools and at a Zonal level to raise awareness on
OER among teachers and other stakeholders.
2. Train school students to find and use OER for their learning process and to promote
their self -learning habits.
3. Share the OER we found and created with our colleagues and teachers to make
the teaching profession easier, productive and useful.
4. Create and upload OER in our mother tongue – Tamil
