Abstract
With the exponential growth of open education movement in recent years, more and more institutions of higher education have shown interest in embracing the use of open educational resources (OERs) in their teaching and learning process. The significant advantage of OERs is its ability to be remixed for instructional purposes and shared among various stakeholders across different continents. However, some institutions have indicated disinclination to utilize OERs due to lack of understanding on the licenses and implications of integrating OER into teaching and learning practices. In this connection, the paper aims to examine the adoption and integration of OER in course development. The ICT in Education course offered in the Master of Education program in Wawasan Open University is exemplified as a case study for the purpose of discussion. This course was developed using various formats of OER materials with different levels of integration and is offered for adult learners engaged in open and distance learning (ODL). Perusal of this case study also addresses some issues surrounding the adoption of OER for course development and may prove to be significantly beneficial for novel course developers and relevant stakeholders with interest of exploring and utilizing OERs for teaching and learning.
