Project summary: This report provides a comprehensive overview of strategies and best practices for developing Open Educational Resources (OERs) for high schools. It details the process, opportunities, and challenges based on insights from project IDADOHS conducted by the Canadian Institute of Technology and 9 other partner organizations.
The key aspects covered include:
- Benefits of OERs and their alignment with emerging pedagogical approaches
- Critical factors in developing quality OERs
- Use of multimedia formats, interactivity, and localization
- Ensuring accessibility and inclusion
- Technology infrastructure and tools
- Content validation and peer feedback
- Teacher training and motivation
- Institutional policies and sharing networks
- Sustainability and maintenance
The report concludes with a set of recommendations and an action plan customized for high schools to integrate OERs into teaching practices. It aims to help educators adopt OERs to enhance learning experiences for students.
Project IDADOHS is a pioneering initiative in this direction focused on high school education. The project was undertaken by a consortium of 5 partner universities along with 5 associated high schools with the aim to: Digitalize at least 2 courses from each partner and courses had to be – STEM related.

All the courses that have been created were in English language so they can be reusable by others, and because we have to offer Open Reusable Educational Resource. We also needed to train Professors so we need to create a Course for training as well.
