THE MAIN CHALLENGES TO OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN UKRAINIAN CONTEXT

The study is focused on the possibilities and problems of using Open educational resources in Ukraine. In the context of this study the definitions of the work of open educational resources relate to higher education teaching and learning is to make effort to free use, adaptation, and distribution teaching, learning or research materials that are in the public domain or released with an intellectual property license. The brief overview of the literature reviewer shows: the open educational resources issue is not considered a priority for classification of keywords; the problem of development of open educational resources is not fully appreciated by the educational researchers; existing studies and reports on related issues are a serious basis to further researches. Information about work with open educational resources was received from the semi-structured interviews and consultations with Ukrainian experts, namely 21 teaching staff. In additional, there was a workshop that focused on the preparation of Ukrainian teachers to the work of open educational resources. The workshop included the discussion about the programme to learn work of open educational resources and self-assessment of it competence. The challenges are embedded in existing problems of higher education and widely - of reform in Ukraine. Two challenges where are illustrated by means of examples from key informants. We think that realising the full benefits of open educational resources can in practice be more challenging than learning how to work with open educational resources. This is a prerequisite for realising the full benefits of open educational resources.
