Not just images!

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08) - Background

• Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announced an initial £5.7 million of funding for pilot projects that will open up existing high-quality education resources from UK higher education institutions to the world

• Higher Education Academy and JISC will work in partnership to deliver 12-month pilot projects - formally launched in April 2009

www.medev.ac.uk

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08)

• Aims to make a wide range of learning resources created by academics freely available, easily discovered and routinely re-used by both educators and learners.

• Expected that funded projects demonstrate long term commitment to release of OER resources. Projects working towards sustainability of long term open resources release via the adoption of appropriate business models to support this

• Recommendations may include modifications to institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making open resources release an expected part of the educational resources creation cycle

www.medev.ac.uk

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08)

• OER could include full courses, course materials, complete modules, notes, visual and audio recordings, assessments, tests, simulations, worked examples, software, and any other tools or materials or techniques used to support access to knowledge. These resources will be released under an intellectual property license that permits open use and adaptation

www.medev.ac.uk

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08)

• Pilot projects to release existing learning resources under a suitable license for open use and repurposing under 3 strands of activity:1. Institutional

2. Individual

3. Subject

The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08)

• Not about creating new content• Exposing existing content to wider audiences• Exploring the drivers, challenges and barriers and

making recommendations• Projects mandated to deposit into JorumOpen• Evaluation of pilot programme, including synthesis of

project outcomes, to be carried out by Glasgow Caledonian University

www.medev.ac.uk

OOER

• Organising Open Educational Resources• Bid can be downloaded from www.medev.ac.uk/oer• Focusses on issues relating to consent, securing ER from

staff delivering programmes who are non-HEI employed, and complements other projects in the programme

• Results of mapping and readiness categorisation together with development of simple toolkits (to help HEIs, Subjects and Individuals) will inform identification of ER to be included

• Uploading OER will test toolkits

Sticking point issues from WP2, 3 and others

• Consent, ownership and copyright• Easy to obtain• Used in settings removed from recording site• Informed consent??• Who owns teaching material? • Who maintains it?

We need clear guidance that is….

• Based on genuinely good practice• Fit for purpose• UK wide• Patient centred• Futureproofed• Positive in encouraging trust between healthcare

professionals and patients• Explicit in making the relationship between the

recording and the patient record

www.medev.ac.uk

We need clear guidance that is….

• Appropriate in managing risk• Recommends robust procedures for checking and

updating consent – which take account of the use of clinical recordings in non clinical academic settings

• Respectful of patients, carers and their families right to dignity

• Explicitly states its relationship with legislation: data protection act, copyright, freedom of information, human rights, etc.

We need clear guidance that is….

• Relative to the needs of other health care professions making use of patients clinical recordings for research, education and training
