Open educational practices of SWAYAM programme among research scholars

Published: 01 July 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Open Educational Resource creates an opportunity for researchers to learn the openly available online educational resources. OER are publicly and freely licensed electronic resources that offer a remarkable chance for researchers everywhere to share, utilize, and reuse resources. It is a must for researchers to practices these resources to enhance research outcomes. The present study aims at practicing the open educational resources of the state universities of Tamilnadu research scholars on their SWAYAM programme. This study also attempts to determine the research scholars' level of open educational practices on their SWAYAM through appropriate methodological and statistical procedures. From the 300 state universities of Tamilnadu, research scholars are select as the study sample by adopting a simple random sampling method. Hence, the findings and suggestions of the study have much significance to the many research scholars.
