The presentation focuses on research in open educational resources: the techno-social context such as ICT infrastructure; the pedagogical context as in teacher development; and socio-cultural context (building community), and how these are affected by teacher participation in, and creation of OER. It reviews a survey of teachers in Karnataka (India). The use of digital methods in OER adoption helped teachers to create resources in different formats, using different editors and tools learnt in the workshops, and also to share with peers over mailing lists. OER should be made available in local languages to be contextually relevant
