Opening Educational Practices in Scotland

Developing practices - themes Widening participation /

transitions from informal to formal learning

(OEP rather than OER)

Partnership working

Partners in well established networks

Individuals who have facilitating

roles – learning champions

Embedding open practice in learning

networks

Extending learning design and practice –

use of materials in social setting

Learn from existing OER practices/approaches,

work with Small/Medium Enterprises

Open Badges• Currently 5 open badges created

under the umbrella of OEPS and being used at scale (all hosted in the OpenLearn Works platform)

• OEPS is working with partners to create badged courses

• Learners are more likely to trust a badge if it is issued by a credible organisation – Open University Badged Open Courses (OU BOCs) are proving very popular with learners who want to show what they have learned online

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland

Development of new content and new practices

Working in partnership for the 5Rs• External organisations new to open learning may have

some material to share • They may already use traditional methods of

teaching/training• Seek to get wider exposure and uptake of their material

– OER is one way of doing this• Keen to harness collaborative working through

supportive networks but not sure how to start• OEPS works with partners to explore what openness and

the power of their existing networks might do which they might not have been able to do before

• Aim to embed open practices within networks or organisations

Development of new content and new practices

How ‘open’ – public scrutiny at course development or

community review stages?

How ‘open’ – initial discussions before

committing to share

OEPS helps identify uncertainties, build

expertise, revise partner content

Develop course using appropriate

open practices

Partner more confident about developing next course in openEvaluate

feedback, review open

practices

If positive experience

& successful course

Evaluation exposes negative issues

Partner informed about what does and doesn’t work

Overcoming barriers

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland

Development of new content and new practices

Issues and observations• Materials may exist online already but not in a format

best suited for online learning• Learning Design discussions to work out the audience

and reasons for creating an online version take time• A series of discussions might be needed for partners to

understand about OER, open licenses, possible course structures and assessment options, including badging

• A sample production schedule is a crucial tool in early meetings as it helps inform discussion, expectations, roles, responsibilities and future planning leading to an actual production schedule

Development of new content and new practices

Issues and observations• Encouraging a partner to compile an asset register

helps themre-evaluate the content they want to share

• Involve partner in production• OEPS is documenting the production process to share

openly for others to try out and revise for their context• Once the first partner created OERs are made live later

this year, case studies will be written and shared on the OEPS hub

OEPS Hub VisionThe OEPS hub provides an encouraging and engaging place to learn more about open educational practices.

It enables users to:
