Abstract
In the project, it is aimed to determine the requirements of a national digital learning content ecosystem and the structural features of the components that should be included in this system. In the project, the components that should be included in the digital content ecosystem are grouped into three groups. Primarily, at the macro level; readiness, strategy determination, quality standards and a sustainable process should be prioritized and policies should be developed accordingly. In the second stage, the basic rights of people who will contribute to a digital learning content ecosystem, the support to be provided, the content development process and technical support are discussed. Finally, there are design, interaction, accessibility and ethical factors related to the use of users or beneficiaries at the micro level. It is thought that the development of a digital content ecosystem will make positive contributions in many ways. First, global access to open educational resources in a national digital content ecosystem can enhance the reputation of higher education institutions and encourage collaboration in education and training practices. In addition, education costs for students and institutions can be greatly reduced. With various motivational strategies in the ecosystem, student success can be increased and a positive effect on the permanence of learning can be achieved. First of all, a culture of openness in education should be developed, cooperation between institutions should be encouraged, instructors should be encouraged to produce open educational resources and students should be encouraged to consume, and awareness studies should be carried out in this context. It should be explained with national projects that open access will contribute to the creation of a positive image of higher education institutions and that digital content ecosystems structured with open educational resources will reduce the education costs of students and institutions.
