In this research, students having online classes of a practical-based fabric design subject were encouraged to self-study from Open Educational Resource (OER) materials for a further and better understanding of their subject. Additionally, online materials were developed to improve students¡¯ understanding via skill of digital literacy. Their learning progress was evaluated and compared to the face-to-face version. The majority of students found online classes combined with self-studying OER materials, potentially be a substitute for face-to-face classes. Most of the students further opined different OER videos assisted them without any face-to-face instructions in practical works, to develop new fabric samples from the inspiration. Analysis of test results, and comparison of students¡¯ final grades with different learning modes, supported these phenomena. %K Online Teaching %K Open Educational Resources %K Learning Outcome %K Fabric Design %K Textile Education %K Teaching Design Subjects %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=123273
