The paper focuses on the issues of open education, open educational resources, massive open online courses and open educational practices. Technology introduces fundamental structural changes that may be essential to achieve significant improvements in the growth of knowledge accumulation. Used to support both teaching and learning, technology infuses classrooms with digital learning tools. In the context of the global situation affected by the covid pandemic, when school became home, while educational institutions had to quickly adapt to this reality and find new ways to ensure continued access to education for all pupils and students, teaching staff started looking for various tools, apps, platforms and online resources that are accessible to everyone.
