Abstract

In recent years, higher education has witnessed a shift towards open education and the proliferation of educational resources. Open educational resources (OERs) have gained prominence for their potential to revolutionize education by allowing students to create freely available, adaptable, and customizable content. Simultaneously, traditional assessment methods have come under scrutiny for their limited ability to measure critical thinking and practical skills. Computer science education, with its emphasis on innovation, is well-suited to embrace these changes. This chapter introduces creating OER as renewable assessment activities as an innovative approach, contributing to the discourse on open education, assessment, and pedagogy in computer science, emphasizing student empowerment, mastery, and intrinsic motivation.
