JISC

The UK Open Educational Resources initiative, led jointly by JISC and the Higher Education Academy on behalf of HEFCE, has now entered a third year. Building on two previous phases (UKOER1, UKOER2) work is now underway in 2011-12 to support the continued application of OER and related activity and processes to issues and challenges across the English HE (including HE in FE) sector and related areas.

Phase 3 encompasses a number of activities, details of which will be added to this page as they become available.

 
OER Phase 3 "Themes" projects

These projects will investigate the use of OER approaches to work towards particular strategic, policy and societal goals. Projects commenced on 17th October 2011, and will run for one year.
