Abstract - This study examines the impact of Open Educational Resources (OER) on teaching and learning among faculty and students at selected engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. Data were collected from 978 respondents using a structured questionnaire and a simple random sampling method, resulting in a response rate of 83.23%. Results show that most respondents (94.58%) were well aware of OER platforms like SWAYAM and NPTEL. A majority agreed that OER enhanced efficiency (74.13%), updated knowledge (73.93%), and improved teaching and learning quality (60.53%). Overall, 66.67 percent perceived a positive impact, and 72.19 percent expressed satisfaction with OER usage. The study concludes that OER significantly support effective, collaborative, and self-paced learning, and recommends institutional initiatives to promote wider adoption and training for sustained OER integration.
