OERAbstract
No hay duda de la cantidad y diversidad de materiales educativos existentes en Internet. Los recursos educativos de libre licenciamiento y acceso gratuito se han convertido en una tendencia relevante en el sector educativo. Sin embargo, varios estudios indican que el nivel de adopción y uso de los Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA) es baja. También indican que la principal dificultad que enfrentan los profesores para utilizar estos recursos es el tiempo y esfuerzo que les toma buscarlos y evaluarlos. Factores culturales, tecnológicos y económicos han motivado a instituciones, universidades y gobiernos a generar proyectos que buscan la creación y distribución de estos materiales. Este artículo busca mostrar las iniciativas institucionales que las universidades están llevando a cabo para promover la adopción y uso de los Recursos Educativos Abiertos dentro de sus respectivas comunidades. Estas iniciativas han tomado forma de enlaces o páginas web institucionales especializadas en REA. Algunas universidades han clasificado los REA por el tipo de usuario, por área de conocimiento o por tipo de material educativo. En la mayoría de las páginas web universitarias evaluadas, los REA estaban clasificados de varias maneras. Este enfoque permite acceder más rápido a los REA ya que el usuario puede identificar su necesidad más fácilmente.
