Editor's Notes
- #5 We have a wide range of technical and strategic expertise. These are a few of the areas we’re currently active in.
- #6 Cetis has a wide range of clients right across the education sector, both nationally and internationally. These are just a few of the organisations we work with.
- #7 Open Scotland is a collaborative cross sector initiative led by…
- #9 Drivers for Open Scotland
- #10 Scottish institutions and colleges are able to access resources produced through UKOER, but were not able to bid for project funding. As a result open practice is arguably less well embedded in Scottish education than south of the border.
- #14 Technology enhanced learning framework. CC licensed & successfully adopted by a number of other universities.
- #18 SQA hope that this initiative will encourage more traditional parts of the education sector to engage with innovative open approaches to recording achievements and accomplishments.
- #19 Outwith the formal education sector Wikimedia UK has also been active in Scotland
- #20 Another open organisation that has an active presence in Scotland is the Open Knowledge Foundation.
- #21 Another open organisation that has an active presence in Scotland is the Open Knowledge Foundation.
- #22 Despite these encouraging developments there has been no policy guidance or funded initiatives to encourage the sharing of open educational resources or to embed open educational practice across Scottish education.
- #27 Progress has been rather slower than we might have hoped since June, but the open education agenda as started gaining momentum again over the last few months.
- #28 We also discussed the potential development of an Open Declaration for Scotland. There was general agreement that the Paris declaration was a good thing, but too limited in scope and that any Scottish declaration should focus on education more widely.
- #31 The declaration is also prefaced by an introduction which draws on a range of Scottish policy documents. This particular paragraph has generated quite a lot of comments…
- #37 Every cause needs a hashtag.
- #40 College sector has much to gain from increased access to open educational resources and librarians have a key role to play in engaging with staff and disseminating open education practice.
