“…Social capital provides the mandate for the actual development of OER to researchers, academics, and administrators. Particularly in HEIs, academics create and develop OER for teaching and research, mostly using them for their modules or subjects (Mncube and Mthethwa 2022), whereas in the school context, educators are considered as prominent creators of OER (Stracke et al 2022). HEI literature implies that academics receive more support when creating OER compared to school educators.…”

Open educational resources (OER) are gaining popularity in higher education spaces and more attention in open distance e-learning (ODeL) institutions as they are gradually substituting printed prescribed textbooks in the teaching and learning space. The adoption and development of OER have been researched; however, the roles of knowledge management tools in storing and disseminating the resources are not well articulated. This research explores the use of knowledge management tools in an ODeL learning context. ODeL institutions use knowledge management tools and a host of other information and communication technologies (ICT) to deliver and facilitate synchronous and asynchronous learning and bridge transactional distance. Therefore, this study employed a qualitative approach to investigate ways in which lecturers use knowledge management tools to embrace and create OER. A case study approach was used at one ODeL institution. The knowledge management cycle (KMC) was chosen as the theoretical framework of the study. The key finding demonstrates that lecturers utilised a wide range of ICT tools for the storage, collection, and dissemination of OER as part of knowledge production. The study proposes the extension of the KMC from three cycles to four where “system” is added. There is a significant need for policy, impact, and the matrix to be covered under the system cycle. The study recommends that scholars who are investigating any IT artefact opt for an extended KMC where impact and user metrics will be evaluated, as this will enhance academic support.

“…However, the guidance of the tutors in the conditions of open digital resources plays crucial role [33]. Open digital resources are developed for a specific purpose and aligned with the specialized subject content, and the resource must be precise and peer reviewed for quality measures [34]. The proposed technology was developed for the general technical disciplines and it takes into account the specific of those disciplines.…”

The article presents the technology of creating educational content for open digital resources in general technical disciplines that consist of the four stages: development, design, posting and final. There are proposed to create video, interactive and graphic educational content in the context of the proposed technology at the development stage. Video content is presented in the form of video lectures, video instructions for practical and laboratory tasks, video recording of the educational results. Interactive content is introduced by lectures and laboratory tasks with interactive elements, interactive posters or tests. Graphic content is provided by lectures with graphic models of the technical objects, practical tasks with the use of modelling and design programs, creation of 3D models for laboratory works and performing engineering and technical projects. The design stage includes the selection of services for the specific type of content and creation the tasks for open digital resources. Educational content is implemented in an open digital resource by obtaining a link, QR or implementation code at the posting stage. The final stage of the application of the proposed technology involves the performance of tasks by higher education applicants, obtaining points, acquisition of competencies. The Pearson criterion was used to statistically verify the application of technology of creating educational content for open digital resources in general technical disciplines. The higher education applicants in the experimental group received higher results than in the control group which may indicate the effectiveness of the outlined technology.

“…Human Resources in an educational institution is the leading indicator that is active and responsible for achieving the vision and mission of the institution (Lambrechts & Gnan, 2022). Human resources in educational institutions are not only academic staff because educational staff, parents and institutional committees also significantly influence success in achieving education's vision, mission and goals (Mncube & Mthethwa, 2022).…”

This paper aims to examine the madrasa development strategy in improving the quality of its Human Resources, which is not focused on just one, but as a whole, starting from the leaders, educators, education staff (staff), stakeholders, and guardians of the students. Correlate-apply between the family and school educational environment with the concept of semi-Islamic boarding school management. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study design, data acquisition using interviews and observation methods, and data analysis using triangulation with the research locus at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Pesantren Anak Soleh (MI PAS) Baitul Qur'an Gontor, Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia. The results of the study: (1) The implementation of strategies to improve the quality of human resources is very detailed, such as (a) upgrading teachers every semester, which aims to maintain the sincerity of ruhul-mudarris with the concept of the five strengths of K.H Abdullah Syukri, (b) workshops aimed at improving pedagogical and professional competencies, (c) comparative studies aimed at obtaining inspiration and public relations networks, and (d) training in al-Qur'an certification as an emphasis on the vision of the locus and (2) indicators and implications of integration using (a) musabaqah (competition) with the concept of competing with each other. in goodness (improvement of achievement), (b) parenting skills (childcare patterns) for wali santi, (c) family gathering for friendship events, (d) evaluation and scheduled work meetings. All are carried out to achieve good communication, coordination and collaboration. To deliver the institution in achieving the educational vision, mission and goals.
