Recent policy developments “I believe that Massive Open Online Courses have the potential to change the way that learning is delivered. I am aware that the Open University and the UHI already use open learning resources and exploit the power of online curriculum delivery. A number of our institutions are also beginning to exploit MOOCS. I would ask the SFC to take forward a short term project to further develop and enhance the sector’s capacity in online pedagogy and learning technology.” ~ Scottish Government’s Letter of Guidance Open Developments in Scotland, College Development Network, 5th Feb 2014.
Recent policy developments “I am very encouraged by the potential of massive open online courses – short courses delivered online that can be taken by anyone, anywhere. Of course, we must ensure quality of provision, however, free resources such as these have great potential to provide pathways to formal learning and widen participation in higher education. That is why I have indicated to the Scottish Funding Council that, in supporting this new work, they should facilitate the best open practice in Scotland and enhance the sector’s capacity and reputation for developing publicly available online learning materials.” ~ Mike Russell, Minister for Education Future of HE in Scotland and the UK Open Developments in Scotland, College Development Network, 5th Feb 2014.

Editor's Notes

  1. Cetis has a wide range of clients right across the education sector, both nationally and internationally. These are just a few of the organisations we work with.
  2. We have a wide range of technical and strategic expertise. These are a few of the areas we’re currently active in.
  3. As well as undertaking projects, consultancy and advisory work, Cetis also undertakes a wide range of dissemination and community engagement activities.
  4. As well as undertaking projects, consultancy and advisory work, Cetis also undertakes a wide range of dissemination and community engagement activities.
  5. We produce a wide range of publications all of which are freely available and license under Creative Commons licences.
  6. Jisc, formerly a quango, now a charity focused on supporting digital technologies for education and research.
  7. Scottish institutions and colleges are able to access resources produced through UKOER, but were not able to bid for project funding. As a result open practice is arguably less well embedded in Scottish education than south of the border.
  8. Technology enhanced learning framework. CC licensed & successfully adopted by a number of other universities.
  9. There are also some interesting cross sector developments…
  10. SQA hope that this initiative will encourage more traditional parts of the education sector to engage with innovative open approaches to recording achievements and accomplishments.  
  11. Outwith the formal education sector Wikimedia UK has also been active in Scotland  
  12. Another open organisation that has an active presence in Scotland is the Open Knowledge Foundation.  
  13. Despite these encouraging developments there has been no policy guidance or funded initiatives to encourage the sharing of open educational resources or to embed open educational practice across Scottish education.
  14. Open Scotland is a collaborative initiative led by…
  15. We also discussed the potential development of an Open Declaration for Scotland. There was general agreement that the Paris declaration was a good thing, but too limited in scope and that any Scottish declaration should focus on education more widely.
  16. Progress has been rather slower than we might have hoped since June, but the open education agenda as started gaining momentum again over the last few months.  
  17. Every cause needs a hashtag.
  18. There have also been some interesting political developments…
  19. At an event last week organised by the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Research in Education Inclusion & Diversity
  20. College sector has much to gain from increased access to open educational resources and librarians have a key role to play in engaging with staff and disseminating open education practice.
