Learning & Teaching Enhancement Strategy 10-14: Context
To identify priorities for developments in learning, teaching & curriculum
To articulate a support framework

LTES 10-14 Objective 1: Continue to create a forward-looking and inspiring curriculum
Our students can benefit significantly from the multiple perspectives offered by increasing access to open educational resources , or what might be termed participation in the global knowledge commons. They might be encouraged in taking up these opportunities by the further integration into the curriculum of open educational resources, ranging from lectures shared by the world's leading universities , to the use of social networking to study grassroots arts movements. In this way, we can employ the global commons to further develop international perspectives in our curriculum and enrich learning and teaching .

LTES 10-14 Actions
1.7 Employ the online knowledge commons to further develop international perspectives in the curriculum and enrich learning and teaching
2.7 Aid sharing of learning and teaching resources by enhancing the University’s online repository provision

School Action Plans – Sharing Priorities
Research examples of School usage of OER
Populate courses with OER
Build a community of evaluators of extant OER products
Encourage interventions that are accessible for different students
Create & share further learning development materials, for lecturers to adapt & for students to use
Dissemination of practice via sharing resources
Champion & raise awareness in School groups e.g. Blended Learning Groups; Learning and Teaching Groups; to Senior Staff
Consider opportunities to incorporate material from the global commons into the curriculum
Task group to develop sharing practice
