7. C-SAP OER project Evaluating the Practice of Opening up Resources for Learning and Teaching in the Social Sciences What is happening at the moment? Project partners are in the process of repurposing the modules into Open Educational Resources, with the project team providing guidance on issues of copyright, IPR, accessibility, pedagogic frameworks and any other relevant issues. In addition, each of the partners has chosen one of the modules to become part of a case study which documents the process of “opening up” educational resources in a reflexive way. These case studies, focusing on pedagogic practice, will be published as part of the project toolkit offering guidance on overcoming obstacles related to releasing and sharing OERs. When will the toolkit be released? The toolkit as well as a website accompanying the project is due to be released by the end of April. In the meantime, you can have a look at the screenshots of early versions of the toolkit: Project website and toolkit Mapping tool Where can I find more information about the project? http://www.c-sap.bham.ac.uk/subject_areas/elearning/oer/. http://www.slideshare.net/CSAPOER http://twubs.com/csapoer Project core team: Darren Marsh (Project Manager) Anna Gruszczynska (Research Assistant) Richard Pountney (Project Consultant) Contact: Darren Marsh d.l.marsh@bham.ac.uk C-SAP (Subject Centre for Sociology, Anthropology and Politics) Nuffield Learning Centre, Edgbaston University of Birmingham B15 2TT T:+44(0)121-414-7919 F:+44(0)121-414-7920 E: enquiries@c-sap.bham.ac.uk

The pilot project, running from April 2009 till April 2010, focuses on the processes of making ‘open’ a selection of learning materials by re-working them and depositing into a dedicated learning and teaching repository such as JISC-based platform, JORUMOpen. The project has given us an opportunity to engage with the theme of OERs from a point of view informed by social sciences critique. This engagement has led to fascinating collaboration between six project partners from across C-SAP subject areas - anthropology, criminology, sociology and politics. Project partners 6 academic partners from across C-SAP subject areas have contributed a total of 360 credits of educational materials. These include a range of resources from mainly introductory modules, at varying granular levels: modules, weekly notes and lecture slides, glossaries, reading lists, assessment practices, syllabi, learning objects. ,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/draft-leaflet-for-oer2010-100319054739-phpapp01/85/C-SAP-OER-project-information-leaflet-1-320.jpg)
