Abstract
This paper describes needs, possibilities, and implementation of open educational resources, which are supporting the problem-oriented engineering education based on realistic experimental results. Experimental results can partly substitute real experimentation which is necessary part of engineering education and research. Open educational resources and use of blended learning approach can improve relevancy and decrease costs of engineering education for the majority of engineering schools. These approaches include mobile learning concepts. Also, laboratories via the Internet are one way of sharing laboratory resources in order to increase the availability of experimental work. But there are many situations in which the use of Internet-mediated laboratories is nonrealistic. On the other hand, trained staff and hands-on laboratories and experimental installations are very limited resources at all engineering faculties in countries like Serbia. Because of that, the web portals for sharing experimental data (with defined experimental protocols and all relevant descriptions and tutorials) can be useful for mobile learning applications and engineering education and research.
