What are open Educational Resources?

“digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research”. (OECD, 2007)

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08) - BackgroundHigher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announced an initial £5.7 million of funding for pilot projects that will open up existing high-quality education resources from UK higher education institutions to the world

Higher Education Academy and JISC will work in partnership to deliver 12-month pilot projects - formally launched in April 2009

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08)

Aims to make a wide range of learning resources created by academics freely available, easily discovered and routinely re-used by both educators and learners.

Expected that funded projects demonstrate long term commitment to release of OER resources. Projects working towards sustainability of long term open resources release via the adoption of appropriate business models to support this

Recommendations may include modifications to institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making open resources release an expected part of the educational resources creation cycle



OER could include full courses, course materials, complete modules, notes, visual and audio recordings, assessments, tests, simulations, worked examples, software, and any other tools or materials or techniques used to support access to knowledge. These resources will be released under an intellectual property license that permits open use and adaptation



Pilot projects to release existing learning resources under a suitable license for open use and repurposing under 3 strands of activity:

1. Institutional2. Individual3. Subject



Not about creating new contentExposing existing content to wider audiencesExploring the drivers, challenges and barriers and making recommendationsProjects mandated to deposit into JorumOpenEvaluation of pilot programme, including synthesis of project outcomes, to be carried out by Glasgow Caledonian University


Overview of the OOER Subject Strand Project

(Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine)The OOER (Organising Open Educational Resources) project aim is to ‘open’ 360 credits of educational resources (ER) in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine/science, postgraduate and staff development programmes.

This project has focused on issues relating to these subjects (such as consent, copyright, securing ER from staff delivering programmes who are non-HEI employed (e.g. NHS staff)), complementing other projects in the OER programme.


OOER Project – Work Packages (Toolkits) 12 workpackages

8. Upload (‘360 credits’?) resources. Document processes necessary to make ER ‘open’. Led by University of Southampton



9. Evaluate ‘resource discovery’ by staff and students. Investigate downstream rights for re-use. Resource discovery and re-use toolkit. Led by Intute: Health & Life Sciences and University of Warwick

10. Host workshops, dissemination events to raise awareness of inform and obtain feedback on toolkits to refine them and encourage uptake of OER. Led by MEDEV
