2. INTRODUCTION
"... Everyone can innovate, but we must do on important and
not interesting issues. We must solve real problems in the region ...” [1]
“....There is an unresolved dichotomy of how to integrate
technologies in education ....” [2]
“...Further research is claimed to improve expectations and
use of ICT in this sector...”[3]
“...Recent research states that although OER are present
more than 10 years ago, are in infancy stage...”[4] ]
