• Funded by JISC and the HE Academy
• May 2009 to April 2010 as pilot institutional OER project
• Enabled evaluation of systems and processes to support the release of high-quality OERs at Leicester
• Made use of JorumOpen and the Plone CMS. OTTER achievements
• 360+ credits’ worth of OERs
• Promoted Leicester and the UK HE sector globally
• Research evidence on satisfaction and attitudes to OERs
• Put-up take-down guidelines for OERs
• Leicester OER toolkit
• The CORRE framework for turning teaching materials into OERs
• Much increased awareness of OERs at Leicester and elsewhere
CORRE roles and responsibilities at Leicester
Key Academic OER project manager Copyright administrator/ librarian Learning Technologist OER evaluator, editorial board or HoD When is CORRE used? Examples from Derby and Bath:
Institution Area New/ CORRE or Adapted existing CORRE? Learning & Teaching Existing CORRE Enhancement Office
Bath Division for Lifelong New Adapted CORRE Learning
Law Existing CORRE
Derby Hairdressing New Adapted CORRE Derby - background
• University owns the materials. • Centralised team – CORRE very suitable. • A range of subject areas from quarrying to education... • Mainly transformed existing materials. Derby case study – CORRE for Law
Key (Derby) Academic OER project manager Copyright administrator/ librarian Learning Technologist Developer Bath - background
• Learning & Teaching Enhancement Office, Engineering, Division for Lifelong Learning, Education (100 credits total) • No central OER team at University of Bath • Development of a framework for creating OER ‘from scratch’ Bath – IP Policy
IPR at Bath is complex:
- University owns IP of all work undertaken by staff; - Academics own materials produced for campus- based teaching. BUT … - … the University owns materials produced for distance education.
