The C-change website now has a form allowing you to feed back your thoughts on our OER.

This is available from the menu above – from the ‘Have you used an OER” tab or directly at:

http://c-changeproject.org.uk/?page_id=382

The input that you give us will be fed directly back to the C-change team and will help us plan and implement further developments of OER materials for GEES.

To find our material simply go to:

http://open.jorum.ac.uk/ and search for GEESOER.

There is likely to be two strands to the OER evaluation strategy- the more quantitative KPIs required by the HEA, and the more qualitative ‘lessons learned’ and ‘what next?’ wanted by JISC.

YK and MS have had a meeting with Helen Beetham, Subject Strand E&S consultant with the OER Programme. Helen is hoping to develop a set of templates for case studies etc. to help with E&S.

Suggestions/thoughts for further discussion:
1. Take a lighter touch on following all E&S ‘leads’, esp. in terms of working with institutions (individual and institutional strands will be looking at this as well)- what are our unique investigative questions for this project? (I have some ideas… what are yours?)
2. Concentrate and track a few of these specific issues, rather than having too wide a spread of investigation.
3. the SC strand will probably reveal more than originally thought- and potentially more than other two strands.
4. What is quality? Main accessibility measure?
5. need strategies for capturing evidence during process- to drive interim reports etc. blog entry perfectly acceptable!
6. Links to CoP strands
7. Does the theme or discipline affect engagement?
8. Does ‘ESD’ within HE loosen ‘business hold/branding’?
9. why are some communities better at sharing than others?

Any more?

To add from OER consortium discussions online- where were the sticking points for each partner? Maybe send a quick email/phone the insititutional links before their memory fades?
