What We Can Learn • 3 main problems that usually exist in education
process: Limited funding, Limited time, Limited manpower/human resources. Those can be decreased by harnessing the participation of youth to the OER.
• Youth are capable to participate in the OER initiative both in technical and content development.
• Youth should be given more space not just to be the consumer/market for the OER but also to include them as the producers/practitioners of OER.
