Need of Open Education Resources in the Students Opinion
Need of Open Education Resources in the Students Opinion

Summary/Abstract: The e-Learning became a trend that continues to grow as importance, complementing the classical/traditional classroom. Students' opinion is important in designing an open course, in the way they perceive their activities and especially related to the practical part. The objective is to analyse how to create a course including a list of desired technologies that would increase their interest. It was noted from their proposal, the interest for open educational resources and the need to have a wide variety of ways of presenting the subjects of study. The need for greater interactivity, collaborative projects and the presence of self-evaluation tests has been very clearly underlined. This analysis provides report statistics about the type of courses developed, the number of activities on LMS for each 3-hour classical teaching, the number of activities on LMS for one course, the type of resources and activities to be exploited by tutors. An increased interest about the students` attention was upon the possibility of including many external media resources. The most important aspect observed by analysing the courses was the fact that at least three external open educational resources were desired to be included in a three hours classical teaching class to complement the traditional printed material. All the materials produced and selected by the students had a high qualitative standard. A close attention was paid to the interactive potential of a resource. Considering the findings of this study, further actions can be taken, such as: centralizing the outcomes, presenting it to the decision factors from the University management board, proposing a strategy/ a general guideline for all the tutors of the University.
