Abstract
The study looked at the extent to which Open Educational Resources (OERs) are provided in NOUN study centres in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states. A sample of 1,157 being 15.0% of all 300 level Education students were randomly selected from the seven (7) centres in the three states. A validated instrument using Chronbach alpha with reliability index of 0.85 was used to collect data on the extent to which listed OERs are provided in the centres. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. The study revealed that NOUN has not fully exploited OERs at its disposal to give access to university education to its teeming population. It is suggested that NOUN should make adequate use of OERs at its disposal for content delivery, while the students too should be encouraged to make use of the social network for educational enhancement.
