title = {Open Educational Resources and the Teaching of Public International Law: A German Lens on a Global Matter},
year = {2024},
note = {This article explores the potential of Open Educational Resources
(OER) as a means to mitigate the prevailing patterns of exclusion in
the teaching of public international law. Furthermore, it suggests
concrete solutions to overcome some of the existing challenges OER
face. The article does so based on a non-representative survey
conducted among German law students regarding access to teaching
materials. The survey yields four key results: Firstly, a majority of
students still prefer conventional, non-Open-Access teaching materials
for reasons of quantity and quality. Secondly, the survey confirms
that most, especially female, students lack access to teaching
materials for financial reasons. Thirdly, findings suggest that
enhancing the acceptance of OER among students depends on improving
their quality, accessibility, and variety. Finally, female students
emphasise the importance of inclusive language and non-prejudiced
examples in educational resources.},
