Abstract
Introduction. A significant amount of educational and scientific technical information of varying quality is available on the Internet. Open educational resources (OER) and navigators that guide in their search help to cope with the challenges associated with limited access to reliable information contained on the World Wide Web.
Purpose setting. The author sets the task to determine the role of technical sciences OER abroad and the need for their inclusion in the industry – specific «Navigator on OER of Technical Sciences» (hereinafter – «Navigator», http://lib-os.ru/issledovatelyam/resursy/obrazovatelnye-resursy/navigator-oor-techn-nauk/). It is also necessary to consider the experience of using and opportunities for OER in various forms of education.
Methodology and methods of the study. The research methodology provides for the study and analysis of foreign scientific works devoted to the development of the OER movement in technical sciences, their role and practical application in the modern world educational system.
Results. This article analyzes the experience of various countries in the use of OER in order to improve access to educational materials and raise quality of education in the field of technical sciences. Approaches to the use of OER in various educational forms have been studied.
Conclusions. OER offers opportunities to improve the quality of education and solve a number of key tasks in the education system. The materials of the developed «Navigator» will be useful to students, teachers, graduate students, specialists and researchers in the field of technical sciences, as well as to anyone interested in self-education.
