CORE-Materials is a collaborative project that provides open educational resources for materials science. It has over 1,200 learning resources available through its website, file-sharing sites, and a national repository. The project focuses on sustainability from the start by identifying barriers to sharing resources and informing future planning. It promotes the added value of open resources and shares lessons learned with other institutions and disciplines.
This presentation is prepared for Dr. Anamika Ray Memorial Trust on Open Educational Resources (OER) and copyleft policies, Types of OER and concept of OMR.
Presentation given at eternity (European textbook reusability networking and interoperability) initiative stakeholder meeting, outlining OER perspective on eTextbooks. Defines OER in terms of Creative Commons licences and outlines implication of this for ebooks as OERs, inlcuding OER content in ebooks, and commercial ebook content in OERs.

Dr. Cable Green, Director of Open Education at Creative Commons, provides an overview of open licensing and OER which can be applied to CBHE projects, and practical examples on how to deal with the Erasmus+ Open Access requirement, in terms of how to use Creative Commons licenses, an overview of the 6 type of CC licenses, and which types of license are suitable for OER to ensure that publicly funded materials provide value to the general public and to ensure long-term access to the results.
Dean Rehberger is an Associate Director of MATRIX and also Associate Professor in the department of Writing, Rhetoric and American Cultures at Michigan State University.
Showcasing the PeerWise online environment, to illustrate to participants how it can be used by students to generate their own original assessment content in the form of multiple choice questions.

A look at the role of repositories in the management and dissemination of learning materials. Introduction to the CETIS meeting on Repositories and the Open Web, London, 19 April 2010.
1. CORE-Materials: Collaborative Open
Resource Environment - for Materials
“The UK must have a core of open access learning
resources organised in a coherent way, to support
on-line and blended learning by all higher education
institutions, and to make it more widely available in
non-HE environments.”
(Sir Ron Cooke, 2008)
CORE-Materials: Collaborative Open Resource Environment – for Materials
2. Introduction
• Contributors have/are making their teaching and training
resources available (images, videos, presentations, etc)
in collaboration with the CORE-Materials team
• Over 1,200 learning and teaching resources now for use,
sharing and re-purposing – with strategies for expansion
• Value-added to existing resources, which are promoted
worldwide and available via:
• the CORE-Materials website
• Web 2.0 file-sharing sites
• JorumOpen national repository

3. CORE-Materials COLLABORATIVE OPEN RESOURCES - FOR MATERIALS
CORE-Materials
Website
These resources
CORE
are subject to OPEN
Materials
Copyright
20 project partners …provide e-Learning Legal (IPR) and …enables release of OERs
from HE, FE, resources: videos, technical input from via a range of services
industry and images, case studies, CORE-Materials under Creative Commons
professional body… lectures, etc. project team… licenses
4. Sustainability (1)
‘Sustainability’ as a discussion topic running
constantly throughout the lifetime of CORE-Materials
– This helped identify early barriers to OER release / use,
and informed planning of project impact and development
Promotion of CORE-Materials through the national
Subject Centre: UKCME – Drawing on UKCME’s
identified community of users; Incorporating awareness
of OER issues into UKCME events and training courses
(targeted at New Lecturers, Student Representatives,
Post-Graduate Demonstrators, Programme Leaders)
CORE - Materials: Collaborative Open Resource Environment – for Materials
5. Sustainability (2)
Sharing lessons learned; e.g. technical, legal,
institutional, evaluative
Discipline-specific CORE-Materials repository –
includes a user-interface with a faceted search facility
“TMS [in March 2010] suggest that, at the least, all U.S. materials
departments and societies should be aware of the products of CORE-
Materials and learn from their concept and processes. At the best,
there may be ways of collaborating that could benefit all parties."
Guidance documentation – (e.g. IPR, Consortium
Agreements, institution engagement, uploading, etc)

7. Sustainability (3)
Promotion of added-value functions gained
from developing and using ‘open’ resources:
Resources shared via Web 2.0 file-sharing sites –
providing enhanced functionality and tracking of OERs
Portability of OERs – multi-file FlashTM resources can
be run independently on a user’s own system
Curriculum content – existing courses enhanced
and modules / programmes developed with OERs
CORE - Materials: Collaborative Open Resource Environment – for Materials
9. Sustainability (4)
Highlighting benefits to both ‘communities
of practice’ and the HE sector / industry:
Resource Guides – developed in collaboration with the
subject community and institutional senior managers
“Don’t start by asking who will pay for your content, but ask who will
pay attention, who will trust you, who will follow you – and work with all
involved parties to convert that attention into income.” (Leonard, 2009)
Personal Learning Environments – demonstrating
resource collections and OERs for learners
CORE - Materials: Collaborative Open Resource Environment – for Materials
10. In Summary
Focus on sustainability from the start (seeing it
similar to project dissemination and evaluation)
Look to share lessons learned – e.g. project
successes, outputs and outcomes – with others
Actively promote added-value features emerging
from the project to both existing and new users
Look to support communities of practice, and
partner institutions, in their OER release strategies
