Background

 

From April 2009 – April 2010 the University was involved in the JISC/HEA funded UK Open Educational Resources (OER) programme. 


                Process

A number of OER repositories and image sites will be demonstrated.  This will focus on where to find items that have been licensed under creative commons and are therefore available for inclusion in your teaching materials.
