Open Educational Resources (OER) Subject Strand: Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine Ms Maria Toro-Troconis Mr Ashish Hemani

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) - Background Higher 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 Source: Hardy, S.

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 Source: Hardy, S.

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08) 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 Source: Hardy, S.

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.
