Abstract

The problem of education is a very important one and occupies an increasingly wider register among educational specialists, who see these changes directly related to current generations of students. Open Educational Resource (OER) is gaining popularity in the recent times. OER are educational resources such as texts, images, videos, assignments, courses, etc. which are freely accessible to anyone and can be used to teach and learn. It also represents an opportunity to have one's own materials enhanced. By allowing material to be modified by other faculty around the world, an OER creator has the chance to see material used in ways never imagined. OER is important because it provides affordable material to students, allows faculty to enhance their own work, and provides faculty with content for classes. Open educational resources help students be ready for learning on day one. Keeping in view the importance of OER and the beneficial advantages it has for both faculty and students, this paper is an attempt in this direction. OER has been created for Heat transfer course on let�s learn some basics on Heat Transfer and Heat Exchangers. The outcomes of the OER are students can know the basics of Heat transfer and modes of heat transfer , understand heat Exchangers and their effectiveness and applications. This OER addresses the blooms higher levels in solving the problems. Another important aspect is students are able to apply the knowledge in solving the problems on overall Heat Transfer Coefficient and effectiveness of heat exchangers. To support the students, to enhance the skills and share their work, an Open Education Resource (OER) with name OER Word Press blog was created. This platform helps students and teaching community associated with the heat transfer course.
