Evaluation of open digital resources for digital and media competence from an educational-communicative perspective

Abstract

The creation and use of Open Educational Digital Resources emerges as one of the priority elements of Digital Competence in Education in its digital and media aspect, fundamental for the construction and dissemination of reliable knowledge in the face of the spread of fake news. This paper proposes and describes a process of educommunicative evaluation of this type of resources aimed at training students and teachers in Digital Competence in Education in the field of higher education. For this purpose, a specific Likert-type scale questionnaire (CEREDA) has been developed, which has proved to be reliable when evaluating digital resources. The results report a validation of the questionnaire and the resources evaluated, establishing associations that indicate the qualities that digital resources must have in order to be considered innovative, as well as finding significant differences between teaching staff and students in the perceptions they express about the level of accessibility of the resources created and evaluated.
