Open Educational Resources (OER) and AI in Evolution: Feedback and Prospects
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The recent emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the field of education has influenced the transformation of teaching practices. GAI has opened new perspectives for the design of digital, interactive, personalized, and adaptive educational resources. Questions have emerged about the potential of using GAI in the creation of open educational resources (OER) based on open teaching practices. This article presents feedback on the design of a modular OER dedicated to software analysis and design, developed using free tools and distributed under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, as well as its use, impact, updating, and improvement. It describes the gradual integration of GAI into the pedagogical production and improvement process. Several uses have been explored: linguistic and stylistic revision, automatic generation of questionnaires, creation of virtual tutors, and experimentation with ChatGPT-5's “Study and Learn” mode. The authors present the advantages of the uses with which they have experimented, while highlighting the technological, legal, and ethical limitations they encountered during their explorations. Based on their findings, they offer recommendations to OER creators on the use of AI for the creation and evolution of OERs.
