Open educational resources programme - phase 2
Phase 2 of the HEFCE-funded Open Educational Resources (OER) programme is managed jointly by the Higher Education Academy (Academy) and JISC. Running between August 2010 and August 2011, it will build on and expand the work of the pilot phase around the release of OER material, and commence research and technical work examining the discovery and use of OER - specifically by academics.
| See the pilot phase (phase 1) of the open educational resources programme and the outputs from the UKOER10 programme symposium. |
This £5million programme is comprised of three activity areas, as follows:
Activity Area A - The release of OER

-
Aiii Cascade Strand: The support of existing teams who are already releasing OER in embedding their practice in other environments
Activity Area B - The use of OER
Activity Area C - The discovery of OER
-
