Abstract

This document encompass the experience of use of Open Educational Resources (OER) in four groups of High school students and it is analyzed the impact in learning while changing the instruction by using three different types of OER. Those resources were developed to increase the level of interactivity between the OER and the student. The results suggest that while OER become more interactive and closer to the real world, the students improve their learning skills which were evaluated by a theorical test. Moreover, the results showed that there was not any significant difference in gender while evaluating their performance. Finally, it is relevant to continue the path of research about the design and characteristics of OER and their impact to develop a better performance in the students.
