JISC News has a new blog post reviewing a session on OER at the JISC Digital Content Conference 2009 (JDCC09). The conference was held Jun. 30 – Jul. 1 in South Cerney, UK. From the post:
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are learning materials that are specifically designed to be shared, with learners and teachers in mind. The ways in which JISC is helping to make it easier to create and share OERs and how the Open University is leading the way in the use of OERs was the focus of this session, led by Amber Thomas, programme manager of the JISC OER programme, JISC, Andy Lane, director of OpenLearn, Open University, and Peter Burnhill, from JORUM.
