Inspiring Research, Inspiring Scholarship The value and benefits of digitise...Simon Tanner
The opportunity to engage actively with British content that is educational, entertaining and deeply enlightening is here. Technology exists to drive forward a vision of intelligent environments that supply the right information to the right person at the right time. Paradoxically, what is missing is the depth of digitised content to make such technical developments more significant than mere playthings.
To achieve a Digital Britain that is educated and ready to exploit these new technologies, the treasure house of British content has to be digitised much more comprehensively.
For the intelligent Digital Britain we need beautiful information, authentic data, validated content and a critical mass that will drive economic impact, research innovation and social benefits.

Title: Avoiding the Digital Death Spiral – how measuring value and impact can preserve our Special Collections in the digital age.
By Simon Tanner,

King's College London
@SimonTanner
Scotland has a distinctive and highly regarded tradition of education that is recognised internationally. However, while the Scottish Government has been active in formulating Digital Future strategies and open data policies, it has yet to articulate policies to support open education and open educational resources.
Elsewhere in the UK, the Higher Education Funding Council for England funded a £15M (€17,5M) OER programme, which ran from 2009 to 2012. The UKOER Programme, managed by JISC and the Higher Education Academy and supported by Cetis, funded a large number of projects that released OERs, developed and embedded open practices and built capacity within institutions and across subject domains. Although restricted to the English HE sector, the UKOER Programmes demonstrated that open educational resources and practices have the potential to address current issues in Scottish education.
Although no comparable funding programme exists in Scotland, a number of ‘grassroots’ initiatives are emerging from the further and higher education sector that are opening up Scottish education. In order to explore how Scotland can leverage the power of open to develop the nation’s unique education offering, support social inclusion and inter-institutional collaboration and sharing, and engage with EU open education directives, Cetis are facilitating an Open Scotland Summit, which will explore the development of open education policies and practices for Scotland. This paper will provide a critical overview of open education initiatives in Scotland in the wider context of UK, European and global developments, and present the outcomes and findings of the Open Scotland Summit.

Webinar by Lorna M Campbell of Cetis and Joe Wilson of SQA on the Open Scotland Initiative http://openscot.net/ and the Scottish Open Education Declaration http://declaration.openscot.net/
Presentation on the Scottish Open Education Declaration by Lorna M. Campbell, at the ALT Scotland SIG's "Open Education, Open Scotland" event at the University of Edinburgh, 3 June 2014.
Between 2009 and 2012 the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) funded a series of programmes to encourage higher education institutions in the UK to release existing educational content as Open Educational Resources (OER) and to embed open practices in the institution. The HEFCE funded UK OER Programmes were run and managed by the JISC and the Higher Education Academy. Over the course of three years about £15M (€17,5M) was invested on projects that investigated the release and collection of OERs by individuals, institutions and subject communities. The Cetis “OER Technology Support Project” provided support for technical innovation across this programme.
In this conference paper we will present our reflections on the technical approaches taken, issues raised and the lessons learnt from the Programmes and the Support Project. The issues covered include resource management, resource description, licensing and attribution, search engine optimisation and discoverability, tracking OERs, and paradata (activity data about learning resources). Technical solutions discussed will include the use of social sharing platforms such as flickr and WordPress for resource dissemination; metadata embedded in HTML documents as RDFa, microdata and using the schema.org ontology; and sharing metadata and paradata using the Learning Registry (a network of schema-free data stores). As well as describing the achievements of the programme, we will also discuss the difficulties encountered and identify areas where further work is required.

Case Study presentation given at "Evolving Identities: Collaboration to Enhance Student Success" National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education, Dundalk IT, 23 May 2019.
What is the barrier to researching in Special Collections? Is the process akin to going on a bear hunt? Can you go through it? If you learn how to do this then the achievements and opportunities for student success can be immense. Student success can be gauged in terms of internal departmental or university awards, or external awards and funding. Equally student success can be gauged by public engagement outputs, the reach and impact of such outputs and the skills learned. This presentation examines a number of different interactions with Special Collections borne out of conversations 2013-2019.

A global commons: turning research into educational material with WikimediaUoLResearchSupport
On 21st April we welcomed Dr Martin Poulter former 'Wikimedian in Residence' at the Bodleian Library to learn how the Wikimedia suite of tools can extend the reach and impact of research to support teaching and learning.
Martin talked about his work as a Wikimedian, and some of the projects at the Bodleian that demonstrate the combined use of Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia to extend the reach and impact of research outputs.
Wikimedia also aligns with the University of Leeds Libraries Vision for 2030: Knowledge for all, and Open Research Advisor Nick Sheppard discussed how we are planning to work with Martin as part of our open research strategy.
Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" is one of the most visited website in the world. Perhaps less well-known are a wide range of related projects under the Wikimedia umbrella.
- Wikimedia Commons is a repository of openly licensed media files including photographs, diagrams, video and audio
- Wikisource is a free library of out-of-copyright texts
Wikiversity and Wikibooks encourage collaborative creation of open educational resources (OERs)
- Wikidata is a store of structured data that can be read and edited by humans or machines.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

the cause of Open Access. The excellent Welsh
Journals and Welsh Newspapers projects are fully
open access. Because of the NLW’s enlightened
approach, Scottish students in Glasgow now
study Welsh wills (freely available) rather than
Scottish wills (locked behind a brightsolid
