Estrategia de Visibilidad de Recursos Educativos Abiertos para el Sistema de Educación Costarricense a través de un Repositorio Institucional

Abstract

The educational materials generated at the university have high quality and a huge potential to be useful to a large number of students and teachers. However, these educational resources themselves can not be used by students in schools because they don’t have a way to access and search for these educational resources. To solve this problem, the Tecnológico de Costa Rica designed a visibility strategy to transform all this educational content into Open Educational Resources to be used by students. The strategy includes the creation of OER, the use of the institutional repository to give visibility to these resources, and the use of a specialized metadata standard. As results we expect to contribute to the education of students and teachers, strengthen the repository, and give greater visibility to the quality work produced at the university.
