OER Programme Phase 2

Page history last edited by Lou McGill 11 years, 2 months ago

Between 2009 and 2012 HEFCE invested in this area through the JISC and the Academy to promote the sharing and reuse of learning resources, and to provide a reputational benefit to UK higher education through the promotion of high quality learning resources worldwide.

 

During the UKOER Programme more than 80 projects benefited from funding, many with multiple partners across a wide range of sectors. The institutions involved experienced significant benefits and the UK HE sector as a whole has experienced increased academic reputation as a result of the work undertaken by this programme.

OER Programme Phase 3

 

Phase 2 of the UKOER programme (August 2010 and August 2011) built upon and expanded the work of the pilot phase around the release of OER material, and commence research and technical work examining the discovery and use of OER - specifically by academics.

 

This £5million programme was comprised of three activity areas, as follows: 

 

Activity Area A - The release of OER

  • Ai A new set of OER release projects (the "release" strand, managed by the Academy)

  • Aii Open Materials for Accredited Courses, releasing materials linked to the national professional standards for staff who teach in higher education 6(the "OMAC" project, managed by the Academy)

  • Aiii Cascade Strand: The support of existing teams who are already releasing OER in embedding their practice in other environments
 

Activity Area B - The use of OER

 

Activity Area C - The discovery of OER

  • Ci Projects collecting OER from various worldwide sources, to bring together thematic collections (the "collections" strand).

 

Outcomes and lessons learned from this phase of activity are described in the Phase 2 Synthesis and Evaluation Report McGill, L., Falconer, I., Beetham, H. and Littlejohn, A. JISC/HE Academy OER Programme: . JISC, 2011
