OERP Open Educational Resources Project
Rich interactive technology enhanced learning broken down into granular open source form to facilitate repurposing.
An individual project aimed at providing material in the area of law, which in turn will act as a launch pad for academic and
subsequent institutional buy in.
Mark Van Hoorebeek
The aim is to progress the materials, using personal, JISC/HEA and institutional expertise from proprietary closed materials to non proprietary open source materials

Start:Identify content, begin IPR check
Re-work content if necessary for
open use
Development workshops with
peers and evaluation –
refine pedagogic framework
Review use of materials,
potential for re-use, and develop
supporting project toolkit.
Workflow process
• IPR and copyright licensing (in particular with regard to images)• Branding/marketing issues• The use of JORUMOpen and Web2.0. tools as deposit platforms• Creation of customisable and adaptable OERs • Shift from tacit understandings embedded in teaching materials to more
explicit resources• Exploration of processes, challenges, assumptions about sharing materials
and/or practice• Development of pedagogical frameworks for re-use and re-purposing• Long-term sustainability of open content release

TRUE: Teaching Resources for Undergraduate Economics
Project Aim:
Our aim is to create a wiki-based online repository for economics lecturers to share, search for, and download teaching materials to support their lectures.
Materials such as question and answer sheets, video clips, PowerPoint presentations, links to websites, and .exe programmes, will be freely available for users to download and adapt for their own teaching and lecturing purposes.
Our twelve month project aims to gather educational resources currently ‘hidden’ behind institutional virtual learning environments and then share them under an ‘attribution – non commercial’ Creative Commons License[1].
The project is part of the UK OER (Open Education Resources) initiative funded by JISC, and builds on the success of the Health Economics wiki at: www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/health/
Benefits of getting involved:
The project team are looking for help to populate this resource with material from as many institutions as possible.
Join a specialist interest group
Get involved at an early stage in an emerging academic specialist interest group in your sub-discipline of economics. Contribute material to a shared resource, and be part of a developing community.
Advertise your own courses and programmes of study
Materials are attributed to you and your organisation, and may reference the programme(s) of study for which they have been developed.
Obtain feedback from your academic peers
The potential is available to openly invite feedback from your peers, and those who review and use the materials.
Enhance the teaching and learning experience for all involved
Be part of a nationwide initiative and share good teaching practice.

Public health is a diverse discipline which has been taught at undergraduate level only since 2001. There is a wide variety of provision, with a range of different outcomes and student experiences.
This project aims to release a selected set of open educational resources for use in Higher Education. It will evaluate both their quality and the practical requirements that will make it possible to bring these resources to a wider audience. It will develop a conceptual framework for OER implementation
What have we done so far?• Launch event held on September 21st . • Website developed to raise awareness, encourage discussion, find and deposit resources.• Mapping and scoping of existing resources.• Key enablers and barriers identified.
OER Subject StrandSubject Centre for Health Sciences and Practice
What are the issues?• Intellectual Property Rights• Business case for participating institutions• Personal development and recognition• Maintaining quality of materials• Modus operandi with other OER in Public Health
Next stage• Consensus building workshops (Delphi Study)• Online forum• Telephone interview• Recognition and review process

What formats will my material be transformed into?
What’s in it for me?
Recognition and the potential for collaboration with peers. Enhanced recruitment, departmental and institutional visibility.
Project Coordinator – Gabi Witthaus
What licence will you release the materials under?
We are committed to releasing content on an open licence so have selected the Creative Commons ‘Attribution, Non-commercial, Share-alike’ licence.
Copyright Administrator – Tania Rowlett
Text or PDF file, PowerPoint slides, video, audio, Second Life artefact, self-contained XHTML site. The list of formats is endless.
Project Adviser/Learning Technologist – Richard Mobbs
How can I be sure about the quality of an OER?
What challenges have you faced so far?
Where will my OERs be found?
Quality can be assessed in a number of ways: enhancement as part of the production process; institutional reputation in a given discipline; individual academic profile/expertise in a given subject area; and an emerging community around the OER.
OER Evaluator – Samuel Kotei Nikoi
Opening access to resources requires a major culture shift. Bringing colleagues on board is part of the challenge. Operating outside the VLE generates much resistance, as does the open release of materials that are part of courses for which students pay..
Project Director – Alejandro Armellini
Your OERs will be untethered and released into online repositories around the World ready for re-use and re-purposing.

Open Learning Environment for Early Modern Low Countries HistoryA Virtual Dutch Open Educational Resource funded by JISC and the Higher Education Academy
The project will
● turn a comprehensive survey course in early modern Low Countries history into a multimedia and Web 2.0 enriched Open Educational Resource (OER).
● specifically focus on relations between the Low Countries and the Anglophone world.
● will use freely available Web 2.0 tools and services and be based on open and transferable standards (e.g. SCORM, AICC) which can be delivered by a variety of platforms and Virtual Learning Environments
● combine a series of multimedia teaching and learning objects like the interactive multimedia timeline in an integrated resource-rich but directed open learning environment.

Project Partners: •University of Warwick, University of Glamorgan & University of Strathclyde and other institutions have been invited to take part
Some of the resources are contained in simulations which take place in a virtual village
Simulation OER
This project will provide open content resources to facilitate the use of simulation learning by:
•Collating and repurposing existing simulation resources•Creating guidelines for the future publication of simulation resources.•Increasing awareness of the potential of simulation learning through staff development activities. •Creating methodologies to help staff see more clearly how simulation OER can be interpreted
