The document discusses barriers to the uptake of open educational resources (OERs) due to perceptions of lack of quality assurance and regulation. It describes how the UK Higher Education Academy funded over £13 million in 3 phases of projects through 115 institutions to work with professional, statutory, and regulatory bodies (PSRBs) to promote OERs. The goals were to change policies to embed open practices, use existing OERs, and promote resources through professional networks. Several participating organizations saw increased understanding and awareness of open practices that could lead to culture changes. Lessons included the need for better copyright and licensing policies and identifying authors to assure quality.
