Emacs-reveal: A software bundle to create OER presentations

Abstract

According to the Ljubljana OER Action Plan 2017 (UNESCO, 2017), “Open Educational Resources (OER) support quality education that is equitable, inclusive, open and participatory.” However, several challenges are known that hinder widespread creation, use, and re-use of OER. The first challenge identified in the Action Plan lies in “the capacity of users to find, re-use, create,and share OER”, and the first action category addressing that challenge, “Building awareness and skills to use OER”, lists ten actions, among which action (c) reads as follows: “Disseminate the findings of research on OER to support models of good practice with a focus on cost-effectiveness, sustainability, exploration of new tools and technologies for the creation and sharing of OER”.
