36. “ In terms of the quality of teaching and learning that
these students have received, I believe that they’ve had
great benefit from the reflective cycle behind this
eTextbook project, where the student interns’ input and
development of my original teaching materials has
brought about further teaching and learning
enhancement. I also expect this eTextbook to be an
important asset in the future for on-site students. ”
~ Dr Nikki Moran

37. “ I was able to contribute towards repositioning some of
the topics ... to allow for a smooth transition between
topics in a way that is simplified for someone new to
music theory. Hence, the inclusion of student agency in
the creation of the e-textbook will not only be
transformative for the intern’s student – teacher
collaborative experience but in extension to other
students who will use the final e-textbook. ”

44. Student Experience

45. “ It has been a great experience to participate
and listen to what other colleagues in OER
had to say. Every day I am learning more
about OERs and the infinite possibilities and
applications that exist! ”
~ Ana Reina Garcia

46. “ Attending other seminars by speakers from
around the world further opened up my mind
towards understanding OER in a broader
perspective... the OERxDomain 2021 conference
has not only broadened my understanding of
OER but also challenged me to think about OER as
a multidimensional art. ”
~ Ifeanyichukwu Enzinmadu
