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).","coll_dates":[{"start":"2014-10","end":"2015-04","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"India","abbreviation":"ind"}],"geog_coverage":"The interviews and survey were conducted at four institutions in India and are not representative of the country as a whole.","geog_unit":"The data covers selected universities in India and not the country as a whole.","analysis_unit":"Individuals","universe":"The study engaged academics in the four institutions in India involved in the study.","data_kind":"Focus group and survey data","notes":"Topics covered are teachers' attitudes towards OER, teachers' perceptions of quality of OER, and barriers to the use of OER amongst teachers in India."},"method":{"data_collection":{"coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","coll_situation":"The interviews were conducted with 27 instructors, and comprised between 49-55 questions.
