FYI: Funding opportunity for developing open educational resources

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi

There was a meeting today at the OU that told me about a funding opportunity which might interest some of us.  It is to develop open educational resources.

Here are the URLS:
   
http://www.sharedsolutions.ac.uk/
a major initiative at the Open University funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England.  It is working to improve Higher Education nation-wide through cross-sector collaborations and by drawing on unique strengths of the Open University such as its expertise in delivering education to a high standard anywhere at scale.

http://www.open.ac.uk/score/
a HEFCE-funded project (2009-2012) supporting individuals, projects, institutions and programmes within higher education in England who are engaged in creating, sharing and using open educational resources (OER). As well as publishing its own OER content, SCORE has a fellowship scheme, offers support and advice, mentors UK OER projects, offers events and online community support. Explore the site to find out more.

If you want more information, or a partner within the OU, you're welcome to contact me.

best regards


Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

I would be interested in assisting with production of OER, particularly for Maths and QTI. Is anyone looking for assistance in this area?

 

The SCORE Fellowships seem to be aimed at providing OU expertise to people outside the OU – or have I read it incorrectly?

 

Cheers

Sue

Hello Sue

I'm glad you're interested. I think your assessment of SCORE is correct.

I don't at present know of anyone who's wanting help in Maths and QTI, but it is early days yet.

best regards

Jonathan
