SUMMARY:UKSG Open Educational Resources online seminar 2026
DESCRIPTION:This seminar takes place over two half days looking at how resources are being developed and promoted\, and how others have approached the creation and management of OER policies. We welcome speakers from the UK and USA to this session. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 29\, 2026 – 13:00 BSTto Thursday\, July 30 12:30 BST \n\n\n\n\n\nOnline United Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMap \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open\, please click here to register \n\n\n\nUKSG membership rate: £70+VAT \n\n\n\nNon-membership rate: £82.00+VAT \n\n\n\nDetails of membership can be found at  https://www.uksg.org/join \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Information  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe next few years will see a continual increase in the amount of materials created by educational and aligned organisations\, much of which will be accessible to peers\, students and the general population across the globe. The opportunities for sharing Open Education Resources are greater than ever. This widespread change has led to many ethical and practical questions around ownership\, hosting\, copyright and discovery. This seminar will explore how to advocate for the use and uptake of OERs and practical steps and tools for creating them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend?  \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will have a chance to hear from a variety of different perspectives\, which will include how open resources can support teaching and learning\, how resources are being developed and promoted\, and how others have approached the creation and management of OERs. This course is aimed at anyone who is keen to understand more about Open Educational Resources\, with a view to creating them\, making use of them for teaching and learning\, or creating policies around them.   \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focused and times are in BST\, if you have any doubt about the suitability\, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should you attend?  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar will be of interest to those working across the scholarly information industry\, including publishers\, librarians\, teachers\, lecturers\, learning technologists\, research support staff\, other aligned professionals and students.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n\nGain a wide overview of the current OER environment across the UK \n\n\n\nLearn about the opportunities and challenges of implementing an OER policy at an organisational and national level \n\n\n\nDiscover benefits and opportunities of engaging with the creation of OER content\n\n\n\nA range of practical approaches and tools for the development of OERs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.   To test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention where possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read.

Drawing on projects in microbiology and immunology\, it will showcase how OER can be adapted using H5P activities\, student–staff co-creation\, and generative AI. The session will discuss practical approaches to remixing and extending OER\, as well as challenges related to quality assurance\, accessibility\, sustainability\, and intellectual property. Attendees will gain transferable strategies for transforming open content into engaging learning experiences while maintaining academic and pedagogical oversight. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYing Liu  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Southampton  \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nYing Liu\, PhD\, FHEA\, is a Senior Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton and Deputy Assessment Lead for the MSc Allergy programme.

This session shares how two colleagues at Durham University worked together to develop the institution’s first OER policy and build a web platform to showcase existing open resources. Starting with little more than a conviction that it mattered\, we reflect honestly on the process: making the case internally\, navigating approval routes\, designing something people would actually use\, and the ongoing work of generating interest across a large and busy university. For anyone thinking about how to get OER taken seriously at their own institution\, this is a warts-and-all account of what that looks like in practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoss Parker  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Durham  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRoss Parker is a Senior Digital Education Consultant at Durham University’s Centre for Academic Development\, aligned to the Faculty of Science\, with 12 years’ experience in digital education. A co-author of Durham’s first institutional OER policy\, Ross has championed open practice across the university\, including making the case for specialist open-source software for STEM subjects and contributing to the introduction of lecture capture. His areas of interest include digital accessibility and multimedia learning. Ross holds an MSc in Digital Education from the University of Edinburgh and is currently completing a Senior Leadership qualification at Durham Business School. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdel Gordon \n\n\n\nUniversity of Durham  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nWith over 25 years in Digital Learning in Higher Education\, Adel brings pedagogical expertise to Durham University\, collaborating with academic staff to design\, develop\, and enhance teaching across online\, blended\, and face-to-face environments. Co-author of Durham’s OER policy\, Adel has hands-on experience creating Open Educational Resources in partnership with academics in Science disciplines. Her collaborative approach centres on translating subject expertise into engaging learning experiences\, improving student engagement through thoughtful design of materials\, activities\, and assessments\, with a growing commitment to open education as a driver of quality and access. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:40 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:55 \n\n\n\n\n\nSession 3: Co-creating OER services with students to contribute to a more open and inclusive curriculum at King’s College London \n\n\n\nKing’s 100 provides a unique opportunity for students to work as co-creators with teams and services across King’s College London to develop new initiatives and projects that directly impact the student experience. In 2025\, the Open Education Working Group in King’s Libraries & Collections put forward a successful proposal to partner with the King’s 100 to discover how students felt about open educational resources\, and to consider how we could promote\, create and showcase OER at King’s. This presentation details that journey: the valuable insight we’ve gained from more than 100 students\, current outputs and future plans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharlie Worthington  \n\n\n\nKing’s College London  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nCharlie has worked at King’s College London since 2016\, joining as a Library Liaison Manager before moving into her current role as Collections Liaison Librarian\, supporting the faculties of business\, law and dentistry.
