  1. UK OER Programme: where we are now Amber Thomas, JISC re-imagining open education, published works and social media16/10/2012

  2. The first three years UKOER phase 1 E&S report OER infokit How can institutions, individuals, consortia best release OER? What do creators want to do with it? Is it sustainable? UKOER phase 2 How can we best encourage discovery and use of OER? How can we extend and grow existing approaches to OER? What do users want to do with it? Is this sustainable? E&S report OER infokit OER use case studies OER use report Student use of OER lit. review UKOER phase 3, JISC Digitisation & Content… How can we use OER and related practices to meet identified strategic and cultural needs? How can technology support these practices and use cases? What does everyone want to do with it? Is this sustainable? E&S report OER infokit Open Practice Study OER and Online Learning Technical studies Case studies of activity Support: CETIS technical support, OER IPR support, E&S wiki Social Media: #ukoer , @ukoer , blogging.

  3. Everything we’ve funded is... • Built for sustainability • Built for openness and sharing – materials and learning. • Published in open repositories and on the open web • Properly documented, analysed and synthesised in order to support the community. The UKOER infokit Materials repository: Jorum

  4. Where we are now • We now know that OER release is sustainable in a variety of contexts and settings. • We now know that end user OER engagement is aided by working with user communities during the design and release process. • We are investigating ways in which OER practice can support institutional strategic goals. We have some evidence but are gathering more.

  5. Latest ... • Evaluation and Synthesis under development • OER miniguide under development to complement the OER Infokit • OER IPR Support Animation: Turning Data into Open Data • Draft Book - Into the Wild: Technical Reflections on three years of UK OER

  6. Thinking about today’s sessions ... Education in medicine and health sciences ... • Organisational complexity • Multiple stakeholders • Technical infrastructures • Huge diversity of digital skills levels • Ethical and legal risks If it works in medical education, it’ll work anywhere

  7. Thinking about today’s sessions ... images text formats sound workflows structured data creation curation these opportunities are not new, nor unique to “OER” but open (source, content) brings a scale of infrastructure and a culture of adaptation and reuse that is driving innovation consumption
