The Open University of Sri Lanka “….I never heard about OER concept before this project…” another one mentioned. This means that the entire group had no idea about OER, and they confused OER with other web resources. Another student who has ICT knowledge but no idea about OER stated that; …’ with my subject I was interested to join this project, because I have the knowledge about ICT...” Many members of the group were happy to learn about the concept of OER. All members of the Kandy group accepted that obtaining necessary educational information from OER sources is very easy to the teaching process, even though there are many barriers. “With the difficulties that arise when it is necessary to get required educational information through the internet, it is very convenient to get information through OER sources…” many students were saying. Some other students accepted that it was easy to get any information related to teaching learning process through OER. “….it is easy to get any required information related to teaching learning process….” they stated. The students also believed that this is a very good opportunity to share their knowledge even at an international level.They stated; many chances exist to exchange and share our new ideas and knowledge at an international level…” Their first concept maps (Fig. 7.1.1) are good evidence to prove the above statements. First step The first orientation workshop was the remarkable turning point for the students and we encouraged them to search and use OER. Therefore, the first orientation workshop can be considered as the starting point. Many students were saying that; “… we searched and found many OER, in the orientation workshop…” and another one responded similarly, saying that ”… we started to use OER after the first orientation workshop…” and so on. 147
