Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Open Education has emerged as an important field in education. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are closely related to it, which are hosted in Digital Repositories. OERs, despite their global recognition and their growing number, are not yet established widely. Teachers face many challenges when they want to use them, including the lack of pedagogical knowledge about their value, the way to use them, produce them and integrate them into teaching process. The purpose of this research is to strengthen the movement of OERs and to realise their full potential. To this end, a social digital repository was developed, for promoting OERs in primary education. This platform aims to create an open and interactive community of teachers, where through interaction, communication and collaboration, the teachers will be educated on OERs. The effectiveness of this digital repository is assessed using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, in order to handle the subjective and imprecise information and better interpret the results of the survey. The results are very encouraging regarding the adoption of this technology.
