Overall aim of course
This workshop will share the findings of a 12 month HEA/JISC funded
project at the University of Leeds to embed Open Educational Resources
(OER) into institutional practice.
Intended outcomes + benefits from attending
1. To showcase the findings of the University of Leeds OER project,
which are based around OER workshops, OER case studies from
practitioners, an institutional OER policy and guidance on use, re-use
and publication of OERs.
2. To share best practice around the creation and/or embedding of
OERs within curricula and the development of institutional policies,
procedures and guidance with colleagues from other HEIs.
3. To discuss strategies to encourage the creation, sharing and use
and/or use of OERs and their embedding within the curriculum.
Indicative content
The purpose of the workshop is to share our experiences with colleagues
from across the sector so that good practice can be adopted by other
Institutions seeking to develop similar policies and practice. The
workshop will showcase the overall outcomes of the project and will
allow attendees to explore and discuss the project during two focussed
discussion sessions.
The workshop will focus on the following main aspects of the project:
(1) Impact of running discipline specific interactive OER workshops
across the institution; (2) Process, challenges and outcome of
developing an institutional OER policy; (3) Case studies of the
experiences of new and expert OER creators and users from a variety of
disciplines
