“…The research findings in this field triggered our interest to investigate film students' attitude toward OERs for film studies in Greece, which is a small country. As Kurelovic suggests [29], "the implementation of OER has certain limitations, in particular for small countries which use a non-English language, have limited resources and support to customize and create OER, their educational practice is founded on traditional teaching methods with occasional use of digital contents and ICT. The awareness raising and positive attitudes about OER are the first important step toward its acceptance".…”

Open Educational Resources (OERs) have become a very useful medium in the fields of education, research, and training in recent decades, supported by governments and highly respected universities and institutions worldwide. Today's university students-in western societies mainly-have been born and raised in a digital world; consuming, providing, and sharing information over the internet 24/7. In that respect, it is interesting to examine whether OERs are a type/kind of information that they would like to "consume, provide, and share" throughout their studies in a formal university course. The paper focus on the attitude toward OERs of students enrolled in a film studies course, offered by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. The aim of the study is to provide film educators with evidence regarding their students' attitudes toward OERs that can be useful in designing teaching strategies to enhance the learning process. Findings suggest that film students want to use OERs in their studies but many of them are not aware that these resources exist and that they are offered from highly recognized institutions and universities worldwide. Therefore, university teachers should assist students to develop familiarity with OERs of high quality and educational value as a useful aid to their studies.

“…Learning is an active engagement with information, where student needs to understand about what, how, and why: central ideas, concepts, facts, processes of inquiry, and argument of a discipline [5]. Access to information and knowledge are the fundamental right of every human, but this is not always achieved without limitations [6]. The closest learning resources around student's daily life can be effective tools to achieve the purpose of learning itself.…”

“…One tool that can help solve such problems is an educational Web resource. When used correctly it can provide many advantages to all participants of education (Krelja Kurelovic, 2016;Hilton, 2016;Bacsich, Pepler, Bristow, Ossiannilsson, Creelman, Szalma & Slaidins, 2015). Thus, there is a need to understand whether an educational Web resource is used or created correctly.…”

An educational web resource is a tool that can help discern useful data on the Internet. A system of criteria, however, is needed to assess the quality of this resource. Existing assessment models use various principles for this purpose. Ten such models are considered in this paper, though none of these use the basic principles of education. This paper suggests a unique new model that considers the major pedagogical principles of scientific content, visualization, the availability and feasibility of education, humanization of education, and students' consciousness and participation. These principles are modified for the requirements of e-learning. The main focus of creating the model is the learner. Some assessment-related points in the suggested model are described in a more detailed manner than in previous models. The new model provides criteria that can ensure the quality of an educational Web resource. Thus, the model can form the foundation for creating educational resources.UDC Classification: 37.02 ; DOI: http://dx
