Session abstract
What if the high-quality course materials provided to university students were shared with everybody? What if these materials could be reused, repurposed and enhanced? Universities and colleges could showcase their work, raise their kudos and be more nationally and internationally competitive. Students could benefit from a broader range of resources suited to their educational needs. The UK Open Educational Resources pilot programme (a one-year £5.7 million HEFCE funded programme, delivered by JISC and the Higher Education Academy) has been exploring how this vision could be made a reality. Representatives from three of the pilot projects will present their account of how Open Educational Resources has affected their institutions, being both the result of and the catalyst for change.
