The Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project aims to increase awareness and use of open educational resources (OER) in Scotland. Led by the Open University in Scotland in partnership with about 50 organizations, the project is developing OER, running workshops on open learning design, and building an online hub to support open educational communities of practice. Emerging themes include the importance of partnerships, extending learning beyond formal educational settings, and using OER to support digital participation and lifelong learning. Upcoming activities over the next year include evaluating the impact of open practices, launching exemplar OERs and an online hub for sharing open educational resources and practices.
