Editor's Notes
- Open education can encompass many different things. These are just some of the aspects of open education
- This is one description of the open education movement that I particularly like from OER Commons…
- At the University of Edinburgh we believe that the creation of open knowledge and open educational resources are fully in keeping with our institutional vision, purpose and values, to discover knowledge and make the world a better place, while ensuring that our teaching and research is diverse, inclusive, accessible to all and relevant to society. This commitment to open knowledge is more important now than ever, in the midst of a global pandemic that has disrupted education for millions of learners around the world. Indeed in response to the COVID-19 crisis, UNESCO has issued a Call for Joint Action to support learning and knowledge sharing through Open Educational Resources (OER) with a view to building more inclusive, sustainable and resilient Knowledge Societies.

- We also believe that co-creating open knowledge and open educational resources through curriculum assignments can play a valuable role in developing core disciplinary competencies and transferable attributes, including digital and information literacy skills, writing as public outreach, collaborative working, information synthesis, copyright literacy, critical thinking, source evaluation and data science.

- So basically, what have our former students achieved by developing OERs? Core competancies and gained transferrable skills. And if you remember, we started developing OERs because we had a problem with project legacy.

- A new initiative for the OER Service is the publication of our first open textbook Fundamentals of Music Theory. This project was funded by a Student Experience Grant and was a collaboration between the OER Service and staff and student interns from the Reid School of Music. The open textbook reuses content from an existing MOOC and on-campus course and re-purposes it in an accessible and reusable format. Fundamentals of Music Theory is the first ebook to be published by the University’s new Edinburgh Diamond service, which supports the publication of academic and student-led Open Access books and journals.
