The document discusses Open Scotland, an initiative that aims to raise awareness of open education in Scotland and explore how open policies and practices can benefit the country's education system. It summarizes recent open education developments in Scotland and outlines the goals and outcomes of the Open Scotland Summit held in 2013, which brought together education stakeholders. The summit addressed how openness could help meet strategic priorities and discussed delivering position papers, a Scottish Open Learning Declaration, and a government policy on open education.

Editor's Notes

  1. Scottish institutions 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.
  2. Aim of the group is to build on existing open education developments to encourage the sharing of open educational resources and to embed open educational practice across Scottish education.
  3. The initiative was launched with the Open Scotland Summit.
  4. Now is the right time to push the open agenda forward. Scotland hasn’t missed the boat, sometimes it’s good to wait for the second wave.
