1. Opening access to educational resources for
use and reuse. OOER MEDEV! A progress
report

2. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme
(14/08) - Background
⢠Higher Education Funding Council for England
(HEFCE) announced an initial ÂŁ5.7 million of funding
for pilot projects that will open up existing
high-quality education resources from UK higher
education institutions to the world
⢠Higher Education Academy and JISC working in
partnership to deliver 12-month pilot projects -
formally launched in April 2009
www.medev.ac.uk
3. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme
(14/08)
⢠Aims to make a wide range of learning resources created
by academics freely available, easily discovered and
routinely re-used by both educators and learners.
⢠Expected that funded projects demonstrate long term
commitment to release of OER resources. Projects
working towards sustainability of long term open
resources release via the adoption of appropriate
business models to support this
⢠Recommendations may include modifications to
institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making
open resources release an expected part of the
educational resources creation cycle
www.medev.ac.uk
4. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme
(14/08)
⢠OER could include full courses, course materials,
complete modules, notes, videos, assessments,
tests, simulations, worked examples, software, and
any other tools or materials or techniques used to
support access to knowledge. These resources will
be released under an intellectual property license that
permits open use and adaptation (e.g. Creative
Commons)
www.medev.ac.uk
6. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme
(14/08)
⢠Pilot projects to release existing learning resources
under a suitable license for open use and
repurposing under 3 strands of activity:
1. Institutional
2. Individual
3. Subject
www.medev.ac.uk
7. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme
(14/08)
⢠Not about creating new content
⢠Exposing existing content to wider audiences
⢠Exploring the drivers, challenges and barriers and
making recommendations
⢠Projects mandated to deposit into Jorum Open
⢠Evaluation of pilot programme, including synthesis of
project outcomes, to be carried out by Glasgow
Caledonian University
www.medev.ac.uk
9. JorumOpen
⢠JorumOpen - for content whose creators and owners
who are willing and are able to share their content on
a worldwide basis under the terms of a Creative

⢠Limited metadata requirements, many more optional

⢠Use #ukoer as tag in web2.0 e.g. blogs, Twitter and
del.icio.us

11. OOER
⢠Organising Open Educational Resources
⢠Bid can be downloaded from www.medev.ac.uk/oer
⢠Focusses on issues relating to consent, securing ER from
staff delivering programmes who are non-HEI employed,
and complements other projects in the programme
⢠Results of mapping and readiness categorisation together
with development of simple toolkits (to help HEIs, Subjects
and Individuals) will inform identification of ER to be
included
⢠Uploading OER will test toolkits

25. Draft OOER value statement:
Teaching resource quality
⢠The quality of educational resources, as a whole, will
be driven upwards due to competition, feedback and
peer review.
www.medev.ac.uk
26. Draft OOER value statement:
Financial
⢠Time saved in not duplicating resources or parts of resources,
with novel resources having a foundation to build upon (Yuan,
2009).
⢠Time saved in using an IPR and Patient Consent cleared
repository of OER (Fleming & Massey, 2007).
⢠Promotion of an institutionâs teaching portfolio and recruitment of
new students (Yuan, 2009).
⢠There is potential for new funding and revenue generation
opportunities (Fleming & Massey, 2007).
⢠Opportunity to build upon institutional repuation at the
national/global level, dependent on project scale, enhancing the
institutional reputation and providing publicity as a promoter of
educational altruism (McGill et al. 2008).
www.medev.ac.uk
27. Draft OOER value statement:
Diversity
⢠OER may increase diversity in student applications to
undergraduate programmes. E.g. OU
⢠OER may aid in widening participation (OECD,
2007).
www.medev.ac.uk
28. Draft OOER value statement:
Institutional
⢠OER development will allow comparison of institutional policies and will
lead to development of UK wide best practices (IPR, Patient Consent) more
quickly and efficiently (Fleming & Massey, 2007).
⢠OER portfolio and institutional brand image will be linked in the future (thus
OER cost will become a ânecessary overheadâ) (Smith, 2009).
⢠Used as evidence of efficiency and value for money as required by funding
bodies and taxpayers (Fleming & Massey, 2007).
⢠Potential students may view a portfolio of OER from a host institution and
use, in part, to decide if institutional teaching approaches are compatible
with their own learning style.
⢠An OER repository can be a means to an effective individual staff teaching
portfolio of learning resources/activities.
⢠Increase in collaboration between institutions, including inter-discipline
exchange (Yuan, 2009).
⢠Increased institutional publicity and reputation (OECD, 2007).
⢠If an OER culture is inevitable, such as directed by future funding body
requirements, early adoption is preferable.
www.medev.ac.uk
29. Draft OOER value statement:
Student recruitment, satisfaction and
retention
⢠Address specific student learning resource needs more
rapidly by finding appropriate resources available from
other institutions uploads to an OER repository.
⢠Students could access resources that have a different
approach (visual, audio, text, etc.) in their teaching
method and add them to their own personal learning
environment to complement host institution resources.
⢠Potential students may view a portfolio of OER from a host
institution and use, in part, to decide if institutional
teaching approaches are compatible with their own
learning style.
www.medev.ac.uk
30. Draft OOER value statement:
Sustainability
⢠Over 75% of staff surveyed in the WM-Share project were
engaged in departmental sharing prior to the project (WM-
Share, 2006). This highlights the strong culture for sharing
that currently exists within academia and emphasises the
likelihood for continued sharing of OER after project
completion once the tools are put in place.
⢠The paper by McGill et al. (2008) highlights the significant
impact that OER can have on the sustained long-term
sharing of resources for both the Communities of Practice
(CoP) and subject-based areas.
