This one day event will showcase work by Subject Centres from the Subject Strand of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) Open Educational Resources (OER) Phase One programme (14/08), including:
- Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre (www.health.heacademy.ac.uk)
- Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine (www.medev.ac.uk)
- UK Centre for Bioscience (www.bioscience.heacademy.ac.uk)
- UK Centre for Legal Education (www.ukcle.ac.uk)
The day will bring together colleagues from around the UK to look at how Open Education Resources can help with your teaching? What does it take to share and release resources? The four projects share their experiences, including releasing resources for Public Health which reaches into every health related discipline as well as being a specialism itself.
The PHORUS project http://phorus.health.heacademy.ac.uk included the development of a conceptual framework, a literature review, research, and released over 40 resources that you can now use. If you develop and/or use (or thinking about it) electronic resources in helping your students learn come along to share and hear about how Open Educational Resources are developing.
The aim of the conference is to provide feedback and encourage discussion on the lessons and strategies developed for discovering, developing, enhancing and converting educational resources into OER.
The programme will include keynote presentations from the international OER community (Jeff Merriman from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stephen Downes will join us by video link), interactive workshops and opportunities for discussion, with plenty of time for networking with colleagues. Professor Diana Laurillard (Institute of Education, London) has also agreed to speak on "intelligent support for teachers who are designing new forms of learning".
Further details will appear as they are finalised on www.medev.ac.uk/oer
