尽管开放教育资源（OER）有很多好处，但研究表明，这些资源的使用比预期的要少。其中一个原因是潜在用户不确定产品的目标、设计和流程是否符合预期目的。本文提出了一个简单易用的框架，供教师和学生用于确定OER是否适合他们的教学目的。选择标准是基于OER文献中声称的好处，MERLOT的OER选择评估标准框架和Merrill的第一教学原则。这些标准的重要性、可行性和适用性由207名OER研究人员和用户通过跨区域在线调查和随后与一个熟悉OER研究和使用的专家小组进行磋商，进行了审查。最后的25项最终框架是按照商定的标准拟订的。
Despite all the benefits claimed for open education resources (OER), studies reveal that these are used less than anticipated. One reason for this is potential users' uncertainty over whether the products' aims, design and processes are fit for the intended purposes. This paper proposes a simple-to-use framework for faculty and students to apply in determining whether OER have fitness for purpose in their teaching and learning. The selection criteria are based upon the benefits claimed in the literature for OER, MERLOT's framework of evaluation criteria for OER selection and Merrill's first principles of instruction. The criticality, feasibility and applicability of these criteria were reviewed by 207 OER researchers and users through a cross-regional online survey and subsequent consultations with a small team of experts familiar with researching and using OER. The final 25-item final framework was developed in accord with the agreed criteria.
