A View From the Perspective of the Erasmus+ Project Decris

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this paper is to problematize the role of open educational resources (OER) in higher education with special emphasis on their use during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper presents the goals and achievements of the Erasmus+ project DECriS (Digital Education for Crisis Situations: Times When There Is No Alternative), which was carried out from 1 May 2021 to 30 June 2023 and coordinated by the Department of Information Sciences at the Faculty of Philosophy, the University of Osijek, with the participation of partner institutions from the universities of Barcelona, Hildesheim, Sofia, and Zagreb, as well as affiliated members from the Universities of Sarajevo and Mostar, the University of Wellington from New Zealand, and the State University of Culture from St. Petersburg. The conducted research offers a view on the degree of use of OER in European higher education institutions in the field of library and information science, national and institutional strategies for digital education, especially during the pandemic, and possible approaches to the evaluation of OER and ensuring student practice in an online environment before, during, and after the pandemic.
