ABSTRACT:
This study is related to the level of awareness and usage of Open Educational Resources (OER) by researchers of Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur. This study investigates the benefits and barriers to the use of OER by the research scholars of the university. This study is survey based for which 100 structured questionnaires were distributed to the researchers doing research in the university by visiting departments and through Google Form, out of which filled responses were received from 67 research scholars. The study reveals that a significant majority of research scholars (92.54%) are aware of Open Educational Resources (OER), and 82.09% actively use them. The most widely recognized platform is YouTube, with 95.52% awareness and 77.61% usage for educational video lectures, followed by Shodhganga, with 83.58% awareness and 70.15% usage. However, barriers such as poor internet access (29.85%) and concerns about the authenticity of information (23.88%) still persist, although a small portion (11.94%) report no difficulties in accessing OERs.
