Development of Open Educational Resources for Renewable Energy and the Energy Transition Process
Abstract
The dissemination of knowledge about renewable energies is understood as a social task with the highest topicality. The transfer of teaching content on renewable energies into digital open educational resources offers the opportunity to significantly accelerate the implementation of the energy transition. Thus, in the here presented project six German universities are creating open educational resources for the energy transition. These materials will be available to the public on the Internet under a free license. So far there has been no publicly accessible, editable media that cover entire learning units extensively and in high technical quality. Thus, in this project, the content that remains up-to-date for a longer period is appropriately prepared in terms of media didactics. The materials enable teachers to provide students with in-depth training about technologies for the energy transition. In a particular way, the created material is also suitable for making the general public knowledgeable about the energy transition with scientifically based material.
