Mapping OER movements in the field of mathematics

Abstract

[EN] The purpose of the paper is to compile a list of initiatives featuring OER developers' work in Austria, Estonia, Portugal, Romania, and Spain, aiming to improve awareness, accessibility, and fostering cooperation in the landscape of OERs. The results reveal diverse approaches to OER across the selected European countries. Austria initiated OER in 2002, fostering collaborative efforts. Estonia emphasizes MOOCs and national strategies, being the only one of the analyzed countries that does not have an OER repository in higher education. Portugal boasts user-friendly OER repositories. Romania actively integrates OER, and Spain encourages OER through institutional repositories and national initiatives. Collaboration, technological platforms, and governmental support play pivotal roles in fostering OER adoption and integration. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of OER dynamics, emphasizing the need for continued collaboration, support, and innovation in OER across Europe.
