Bradshaw, Emily Durham; McDonald, Jason K. – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
Research on the use of open educational resources (OER) has often noted the potential benefits for users to revise, reuse, and remix OER to localize it for specific learners. However, a gap in the literature exists in terms of research that explores how this localization occurs in practice. This is a significant gap, given the current flow of OER…
