Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to analyze the evolution of open educational resources and its application in electronic learning and online journalism. For this purpose, the following questions have been answered: a) How did the term open educational resources come about and what is its evolution? b) What are the characteristics of open educational resources? c) What is the use of open educational resources in e-learning?
Method: To answer the research questions and realize the aforementioned goal, the case study method was used. The necessary data has been collected, arranged and analyzed through documents at the national and international level. Among these documents: UNESCO publications and reports, articles and other academic publications were relevant.
Findings: The starting point of the formation of open educational resources has been to make university classrooms available to those interested in higher education by popularizing "open textbooks". Based on this experience, UNESCO named this type of action as Open Educational Resources (OER). After that, several efforts were made and the use of open educational resources was investigated with the participation of academics and the implementers of education programs for sustainable development. Thus, international efforts have expanded to learn how to prepare and disseminate open educational resources.
Conclusion: Open educational resources include those resources that are free of charge, with an "open certificate" (CC), the possibility of receiving, applying, revising, combining and redistributing them is available for users. UNESCO has explained the mentioned concept. Among these, six types of licenses or "open certificates" (CC) have been compiled. Although various types of these certificates can be used in the production and distribution of educational resources and content for face-to-face training and online journalism, it has a potentially wider use. For example, at the end of this article, an example of open educational resources in the field of communication sciences is mentioned.
