Summary
A new tool was created to evaluate Open Educational Resources (OERs), ensuring content validity. The validation process refined a rubric, resulting in 32 essential criteria for effective learning objects.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Information Science
Background:
- Open Educational Resources (OERs) are versatile digital learning materials.
- A need exists for a validated tool to assess OER content quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a content evaluation tool for Open Educational Resources (OERs).
- To ensure the reliability and applicability of OERs in educational settings.
Main Methods:
- A 41-criteria rubric was developed based on a literature review.
- Six expert judges assessed each criterion's necessity using a three-level scale.
- Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was calculated to determine criterion validity.
Main Results:
- 32 out of 41 criteria were validated as essential or useful.
- The CVR calculation identified robust criteria for OER evaluation.
- The process highlighted criteria needing modification or removal.
Conclusions:
- The content validation process successfully refined the OER evaluation tool.
- The resulting 32 criteria enhance the overall validity of learning objects.
- This validated tool supports the effective selection and use of OERs.
