  OER unesco re:mltnet access_to_education

  • Overall, these issues have been mentioned so far:
    

    
    
    • Awareness, Policy, attitude, cultural:
      
      • Access in terms of awareness. (Lack of awareness is a barrier to OER.)
        
      • Access in terms of local policy / attitude. (Do attitudes or policies pose barriers to using OER?)
        
      • Access in terms of languages. (How well does the user speak the language of the OER?)
        
      • Legal
        
        • Access in terms of licensing. (Is the licensing suitable / CC?)
          
        • Technical: Provision of OER
          
          • Access in terms of file formats. (Are the file formats accessible?)
            
          • Access in terms of disability. (Does the OER meet WAI accessibility criteria?)
            
          • Technical: Receiving OER
            
            • Access in terms of infrastructure (Lack of power/computers makes access hard.)
              
            • Access in terms of internet connectivity / bandwidth (Slow connections pose a barrier to access.)
              
            • Access in terms of discovery. (If the OER is hidden, not searchable, not indexed, it's hard to find.)
              
            • Access in terms of ability and skills. (Does the end user have the right skills to access?)
