Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine and compare the degree of OER usage, the influences on OER use, and the opinions of OER use by business school and health science school teachers at leading universities in Pakistan. Two business schools and two schools of health sciences from various institutions were included in our study. Using the questionnaire approach, information is gathered from a sample of 80 respondents from two prestigious institutions. The findings of the data show that teachers at business schools utilize digital and OER resources more frequently than those in health science institutions and possess advanced technical abilities. The teachers of business school also show more positive perceptions about the use of different OER with the lectures as supporting material than the health science schools. 

Keywords: Questionnaire, OER (Open Educational Resources), adherence, perception.
