Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Project objectivesThe project encompasses a number of activities over a three year period (2014-2017):• Analysis of current open educational practices• Events programme across Scotland to raise awareness of OEP• Development of an online hub to encourage and share best
practice in open education• Development of a small number of high quality OERs of
particular benefit to Scotland• Badging of informal learning• Learning design for widening participation• Research and evaluation building a strong evidence base• Evaluation of various economic models of openness

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Developing practices - themes Widening participation /
transitions from informal to formal learning
(OEP rather than OER)
Partnership working
Partners in well established networks
Individuals who have facilitating
roles – learning champions
Embedding open practice in learning
networks
Extending learning design and practice –
use of materials in social setting
Learn from existing OER practices/approaches,
work with Small/Medium Enterprises

www.oeps.ac.uk including community functionality
• OER platform improvements http://www.open.edu/openlearnworks/

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Open Badges• Currently 5 open badges created
under the umbrella of OEPS and being used at scale (all hosted in the OpenLearn Works platform)
• OEPS is working with partners to create badged courses
• Learners are more likely to trust a badge if it is issued by a credible organisation – Open University Badged Open Courses (OU BOCs) are proving very popular with learners who want to show what they have learned online

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Development of new content and new practices
Working in partnership for the 5Rs• External organisations new to open learning may have
some material to share • They may already use traditional methods of
teaching/training• Seek to get wider exposure and uptake of their material
– OER is one way of doing this• Keen to harness collaborative working through
supportive networks but not sure how to start• OEPS works with partners to explore what openness and
the power of their existing networks might do which they might not have been able to do before
• Aim to embed open practices within networks or organisations

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Development of new content and new practices
How ‘open’ – public scrutiny at course development or
community review stages?
How ‘open’ – initial discussions before
committing to share
OEPS helps identify uncertainties, build
expertise, revise partner content
Develop course using appropriate
open practices
Partner more confident about developing next course in openEvaluate
feedback, review open
practices
If positive experience
& successful course
Evaluation exposes negative issues
Partner informed about what does and doesn’t work
Overcoming barriers
10
Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Development of new content and new practices
Issues and observations• Materials may exist online already but not in a format
best suited for online learning• Learning Design discussions to work out the audience
and reasons for creating an online version take time• A series of discussions might be needed for partners to
understand about OER, open licenses, possible course structures and assessment options, including badging
• A sample production schedule is a crucial tool in early meetings as it helps inform discussion, expectations, roles, responsibilities and future planning leading to an actual production schedule
11
Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Development of new content and new practices
Issues and observations• Encouraging a partner to compile an asset register
helps themre-evaluate the content they want to share
• Involve partner in production• OEPS is documenting the production process to share
openly for others to try out and revise for their context• Once the first partner created OERs are made live later
this year, case studies will be written and shared on the OEPS hub

OEPS Hub VisionThe OEPS hub provides an encouraging and engaging place to learn more about open educational practices.
It enables users to:
• UNDERSTAND about OER and Open Educational Practices
• FIND useful OER• Provide tools to DO open – finding, remixing, building• Have a place to DELIVER their OER to the public
