“…In an emergency situation, such as the COVID-19 crisis, copyrighted learning materials can be one of the major barriers to the dissemination of educational content. [17] investigated in a Turkish context whether the faculty were aware of OER and included them in their course preparation, in addition to intellectual property licenses. They found that only 39% of the respondents were aware of the concept of OER, while the rest were unsure or had never heard about it, pointing out that a majority of them were using OER without knowing the theoretical concept, which means that they were not even at the first stage of knowledge or awareness.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a high degree of uncertainty about the state of education. During this critical period, the entire educational landscape was in need of relevant educational resources that could be shared between and within educational networks. In this regard, open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) have played an important role in ensuring educational continuity. Research has shown that open approaches will help make the higher education ecosystem more resilient to future crises and the sustainability of this ecosystem can be fueled by the widespread use of OER and OEP. However, additional work is still needed in this area either at the personal, organizational, or institutional level. In this paper, we discuss the potential of OER and OEP, as certain solutions, to improve quality and widen access in uncertain times such as the COVID-19 crisis, we also present an analysis from an OER perspective of the initiatives undertaken at the Cadi Ayyad University (UCA) in Morocco as example in order to assess the extent to which they can be considered as OER. On the other hand, we highlight the benefits of this experience, as well as identify the barriers that hinder the adoption of open solutions in order to propose some recommendations and guidelines to foster the implementation of these solutions.

“…Since the outbreak and large-scale spread of COVID-19 in January 2020, the academic community has carried out extensive research, and many academic papers have been published. These publications are in various fields: medicine, immunology, biology, chemistry, infectious diseases, management, and data analysis (Bikdeli et al, 2020; Sunar et al, 2022). These research results across multiple fields explore COVID-19 from various perspectives.…”

To analyze the directions for future research suggested and to project future research plans, we extract relevant text from these publications with respect to COVID-19-related research based on 54,136 relevant academic journals published from the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in January 2020 until December 2020. First, we extract and preprocess the corpus and then determine that, according to the Elbow method, the optimal number of clusters is 7. Then, we construct a text clustering model based on an autoencoder, with the support of an artificial neural network. Distance measurements, such as correlation, cosine, Braycurtis, and Jaccard are compared, and the clustering results are evaluated with normal mutual information. The results show that cosine similarity has the best effect on clustering of COVID-19-related documents. A topic model analysis shows that the directions of future research can mainly be grouped into the following seven categories: infectivity testing, genome analysis, vaccine testing, diagnosis and infection characteristics, pandemic management, nursing care, and clinical testing. Among them, the topics of pandemic management, diagnosis and infection characteristics, and clinical testing trended upward in proportion to future directions. The topic of vaccine testing remains steady over the observation window, whereas other topics (infectivity testing, genome analysis, and nursing care) slowly trended downward. Among all the topics, medical research comprises 80%, and about 20% of the topics are related to public management, government functions, and economic development. This study enriches our scientific understanding of COVID-19 and helps us to effectively predict future scientific research output on COVID-19.

The teaching–learning process is not only focused on traditional classroom instruction but also encompasses the online teaching process. It demands the importance of OERs in both the teaching–learning process and also in the assessment process. It helps in providing a new direction in the area of OER in higher education. The purpose of the study is to explore the importance of OER in higher education and to examine the challenges faced by teachers or students in making, sharing, and using OER in different areas of higher education. 167 peer-reviewed articles were searched, and downloaded, and then only 40 articles were selected for final analysis through the PRISMA method. The findings of the present study reveal that most of the faculty members and students widely used OER in the different teaching–learning processes of higher education. The use of OER helps in cost reduction for purchasing of books, enhances enrolment ratio, enhances the teaching and research skills, and also supports the students for their examination. Though there are a lot of benefits of using OER in higher education proper institutional policy, financial support, basic knowledge of technology, lack of awareness and proper peer feedback, and lack of cooperation from institutions are the major constraints for the development of quality OER resources.
