The Consejería de Educación y Formación Profesional of the Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia opened the application period for a new edition of the Recursos Educativos Abiertos project on 24 October 2026. Its aim is to develop teaching materials created by teachers that are freely accessible and make them available through regional platforms.
Teachers at institutions that are Región de Murcia publicly funded may take part. According to the call for applications, project proposals will be assessed against clear criteria: the educational design, the participants’ subject knowledge and teaching suitability, and compliance with quality requirements for open educational resources. The administration has set out a points-based selection scale and details of deadlines and procedural steps in the official notice on the Sede electrónica.
According to the regional administration, the materials developed will be published on existing portals run by the Consejería de Educación y Formación Profesional. As a technical reference, it cites the Guía para la elaboración de Recursos Educativos Abiertos, which sets out requirements for structure, teaching materials design, accessibility and licensing. In practice, this means preparing content so that it can be shared, adapted and republished lawfully — for example under open Creative Commons licences, as is typical for Recursos Educativos Abiertos.
Supporters of this approach point out that open teaching units can strengthen collaboration between schools and reduce reliance on commercial teaching materials. At the same time, there are indications that they create additional work for teachers and that reliable quality checks and content maintenance are needed. Digital skills development programmes such as DigitalProf are cited by the regional administration as a complementary framework; the quality of individual contributions and their grounding in school practice remain decisive.
Participation is voluntary, and proposals are processed according to the procedure set out in the documentation. Specific details of support, publication steps and deadlines can be found in the call for applications on the Sede electrónica. With this renewed call, the region is building Murcia on existing open educational resource initiatives that promote consistent principles for accessibility, reusability and legal clarity across the country. The key requirement is that materials published as part of the project remain easy to find and can be used throughout the Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia without additional licensing costs. Notice dated 24 October 2026.
