q2 i? Despite a co-created OER resource bank and dedicated exploration time, most lessons relied on teachers' personal knowledge rather than existing OER, and teachers used Google search once topics were decided. → Iwatani 2020

q2 · i? · design · r3

Findings from 54 teacher interviews and workshop observations across the project. Teachers relied most heavily on personal knowledge and experience with their students, and used Google search rather than browsing OER websites for materials.

"While teachers co-created a resource bank of existing middle school science OER, and were provided some time to explore these resources, most lessons teachers created did not rely substantially on existing OER in either design or conception."
