Open Educational Resources (OER) –Funded from the last remaining cash left over from the UKEU – must be spent by end of this fiscal year. In partnership with the JISC, we are running a pilot programme to support Open Educational Resources. The goal of the programme is to make a wide range of learning resources created by academics freely available, easily discovered and routinely re-used by both educators and learners. Open educational resources are defined as 'teaching, learning and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials or techniques used to support access to knowledge'. Definition used by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation HEFCE have agreed an initial £5.7 million of funding for the pilot programme. Projects are expected to make a significant amount of existing learning resources freely available online, licensed in such away to enable them to be used and repurposed worldwide. It is expected that funded projects will demonstrate a long term commitment to the release of OER resources. Projects will work towards the sustainability of long term open resources release via the adoption of appropriate business models to support this. Supporting actions will include modifications to institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making open resources release an expected part of the educational resources creation cycle. As a part of this programme, support and advice on all aspects of open educational resource release will be offered. This will include guidance from existing JISC services and other organisations and will cover issues around licensing, intellectual property rights, technical aspects such as the use of standards and metadata, and resource discovery. There are three separate strands to the pilot programme institutional subject area: * Institutional * Subject Area * Individual The funded projects will run for 12 months and will formally begin on 30 April 2009. Projects end on 30 April 2010.
