This is the final report of the project Learner Use of Online Educational Resources for Learning (LUOERL) funded by the Higher Education Academy. This was part of phase two of the Higher Education Academy/JISC Open Educational OER programme.
Sero Consulting Ltd was asked by the Higher Education Academy to undertake a literature review “to provide a greater understanding of the ways in which learners whether or not in formal education use online resources to aid their learning experiences and the factors which influence the selection of resources”. It was anticipated that “collectively this work will enable practitioners policy makers and researchers to adopt more effective evidence-informed or research-informed approaches to their decision-making research and practice on matters relating to the use of open-educational resources in learning and teaching”.
