Abstract

The paper presents a general introduction to the global open educational resources movement and then studies its translation activity from the perspective of translator's subjectivity. Translator's subjectivity bears three characteristics of initiative, restrictiveness and purposiveness. Translators of open courses give play to their initiative so as to overcome the constraints due to the specialty of audiovisual texts like subtitles and realize the purpose of importing foreign educational resources into China, and they are organized in a special way in the cyber-environment, which is different from the conventional translation organization. At the end of the paper the influence of the open course translation activity on translation is discussed.
