Lorna’s JISC CETIS blog has a new post addressing criticisms of JISC’s OER program. The “myths” addressed include “It’s just about copying OU and MIT” and “No thought has been given to business models.” From the blog post:
This is a pilot programme. Whether the OER Programme is successful or not in achieving its primary aims and objectives this should be a learning experience for JISC, HEFCE and the Academy. As long as the OER Programme is appropriately evaluated and lessons are learned that inform future decisions the OER Progamme will not be a waste of money.
