    Abstract

    The study aims to map the current preconceptions and behavioural determinants that influence academics' engagement with Open Educational Resources (OER) in India. The key objectives of this research were to examine teachers' attitudes towards OER in selected Indian universities, establish teacher perspectives on OER use in order to establish the uptake of OER in India, identify barriers to the creation and use of OER in India, identify the factors motivating teachers' uptake of OER in India, analyse teachers' perceptions of quality of OER in India, and investigate relationships amongst teachers' attitudes, motivation, perceptions of quality and barriers to the use of OER. The project utilised a mixed methods approach consisting of a survey and unstructured interviews conducted with academics from four Indian universities. The resultant dataset includes a qualitative component (interview transcripts) and a quantitative component (survey data).
