Open Educational Resources: OER are digital materials that can be used,

re-used and repurposed for teaching, learning, research and more, made freely available online through open licences such as Creative Commons.

OER include a varied range of digital assets from course materials, content modules, collections, and journals to digital images, music and video clips


Why do we want to be open & collaborative? The development and evaluation of an open

education resource (OER) for the delivery of bioethics on undergraduate biomedical science programmes. Collaborative partnership International fellow critical friend

#BeMore #OER


The QAA Subject Benchmark (2007)A Biomedical Science graduate will: demonstrate ethical professional practice; acquire research skills including ethics and

governance; have some understanding of ethical issues

and their impact on advances in biomedical science;

be able to construct reasoned arguments to support their position on ethical issues which impact on advances in biomedical science


Bioethics OEREthical principalsBioethical reasoningAnalytical frameworks Professional biomedical scientist Issues arising from advances in life and health

sciences


Bioethics OER Operates on mobile devices and laptops Provides a framework for independent study

or class-based activities Interactivity Embedded videos Links to other resources


Xerte: provides a tool kit for: the production of interactive eLearning

materials simple wizards used to compile content,

create quizzes, provide links etc repository for sharing, reusing, and adapting

content.



“ this will provide a very helpful background resource - introducing key concepts and ideas so that the class time can be focused on development and looking at specific case studies - which in general is how I think ethics teaching is best done, so facilitating an inquiry based class room is great. I also like that it is relatively bare bones - it provides a useful frame rather than being entirely prescriptive which makes it adaptable to a wide array of teaching situations”

Open research project: 2015/2016 The resource will be used to support ethics

teaching with: Bioengineers at Flinders Biomedical science students at UWS Bioscience students at Leeds

Qualitative research project: Questionnaires for staff/students Focus groups with students

10/09/2015

Open research project Welcome use and evaluation of the resource

by other cohorts The resource is available here:

catherinehack.wordpress.com Questionnaires and/or focus groups


Open research project: students as partners Course teams interested in

working with their students to add new pages to the resource Students identify a current

story that raises ethical issues

Students create a new and interactive way for their peers to engage with story
