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 and copyright. This seminar explores the current OER landscape\, looks at how some of these issues are being addressed\, and highlights the opportunities presented by the growth of OER resources. \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 OER policies. 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 and US\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\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.

What are the alternatives? We present the results of a pilot programme at Coventry University where the commercial textbook has been discarded in favour of a shift to Open Content. Is this the beginning of a (re)new(ed) paradigm or a Canutian exercise in futility? \n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Brabban \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Brabban \n\n\n\nCoventry University \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHaving initially trained and worked as a Secondary School English and Drama teacher\, Phil swiftly made the decision to alter course\, changing career to follow a life of excitement and high adventure in Librarianship.

To implement the policy\, a proactive approach was taken\, with the formation of a cross-faculty OER Working Group.

During this session we’ll be exploring how Edinburgh has embedded strategic support for OER across the institution\, through the implementation of a permissive OER Policy\, supported by a range of central services. We’ll introduce case studies\, highlight the importance of developing copyright literacy skills\, touch on our commitment to student engagement and co-creation\, and provide recommendations that other institutions can follow to enable them to adapt and adopt this model. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharlie Farley  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Edinburgh \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nStephanie (Charlie) Farley has worked in Higher Education Libraries and Learning Technology services for fifteen years\, and has spent the last decade embedding strategic support in policy and technologies\, training\, supporting\, and collaborating with staff and students in the creation and use of Open Education Resources at The University of Edinburgh.

Stakeholders leveraged in-depth community consultations to understand the principles needed to exchange OA book usage data across private and public stakeholders and moved ahead with a data space proof of concept. In 2024\, the Data Trust’s Technical Advisory Committee and Board of Trustees selected an experienced IDS technical team to build out the technical OA Book Usage Data Trust infrastructure to develop a limited proof of concept IDS focused on the exchange of COUNTER item-level views and downloads data while collaborating with technical pilot partners (e.g. JSTOR\, LibLynx\, Michigan University Publishing\, Punctum Books\, Knowledge Unlatched). This provides an opportunity to explore if the IDS model and functionality can be extended to support additional data exchange use cases. \n\n\n\nWithin this webinar\, we will explore how OAEBUDT development to date helps create a more effective\, secure and equitable exchange of data across government\, charity and commercial scholarly communications stakeholders. A discussion will be facilitated through a Q&A. \n\n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for this event recording here. \n\n\n\nSlides\n\n\n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen\, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too! \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized\, timely\, accessible\, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreat to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards. \nEmma Thompson\, Glasgow Caledonian University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThis is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nIf you have already registered and are subsequently unable to attend\, please do not cancel your registration – only active registrations will receive the recording in a follow-up e-mail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.
