Bringing the benefits of OER to Scotland's colleges
Scotland's Colleges and Jorum are collaborating on an initiative to bring about a significant advance in the use of Open Educational Resources in support of learning and teaching in the college sector in Scotland. This initiative has formed at a time of major organisational change in the college sector in Scotland and is well placed to address some of the pressures this change brings and to help support the sector going forward. This initiative is also timely following the recent approval of the UNESCO declaration on OER. Making use of the functionality offered by the open source DSpace repository and integration tools, this project will launch a new open resource-sharing service for the Scottish FE sector in Autumn 2012. This pecha kucha looks at the drivers which have led to this development and the positive impact it will have nationally in Scotland.
