Important Announcement


Website for Karnataka teachers!

The Karnataka Open Educational Resources wiki is a repository of resources to support practising teachers in terms of their professional development as well as classroom processes. The wiki is built by a community of educators who will will be engaged in the creation, review, curation and publishing of digital curricular resources on a continuous basis. This resource repository is embedded in the Subject Teacher Forum that has been built across high school teachers of Karnataka.

Twin objectives of the Open Educational Resources Repository

1. Availability of good quality curricular resources

One of the challenges identified by the National Curricular Framework 2005 (NCF) is lack of good quality relevant curricular resources: This provides a poor learning environment. Most teachers have only the text book as the curricular resource for any subject. Further, the teachers are also treated as consumers of centrally produced resources (textbooks or digital content) and there is little scope and opportunity for them to create resources appropriate for their classroom situations. Often times, the teachers have very little access to resources beyond the classroom.
