Open Educational Resources (OER) have been researched for a long time in the open education field Researchers are now shifting their focus from resources to practices for delivering open education, an area called Open Educational Practices (OEP) However, there is little information in the related literature regarding the design of an OEP-based course or the impact of these types of courses Therefore, this study designs a new OEP-based course at a public university for teaching family education during the COVID-19 pandemic It also investigates its impact on learning motivation and teachers’perceptions In this context, a practical pilot experiment using both qualitative and quantitative methods was conducted Specifically, 36 learners participated in this experiment The obtained findings highlight: (1) an innovative design framework for OEP-based courses that teachers can refer to in their contexts;(2) that learners had a high motivation level in terms of knowledge achievements, individual connection and engagement when taking the OEP-based course;and (3) several advantages and challenges of the OEP-based course from the teacher’s and learners’perspectives For instance, the teacher reported the fear of losing control over the learning process when applying OEP The findings of this paper can help researchers and educators in adopting OEP in higher education especially in times of crises, as well as increase the sustainability of OEP, hence contributing to open education development
