Contacts for the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) project "Open Educational Resources"

The project will analyse and map the scale and scope of initiatives regarding “open educational resources” (OER) in terms of their purpose, content, and funding. It will look into different sustainable cost/benefits models and intellectual property right issues linked to OER initiatives. Furthermore we address questions regarding incentives and barriers for universities and faculty staff to deliver their material to OER initiatives and how to improve access and usefulness for users of OER initiatives.
The main activities will be a conceptual analysis of OER, a mapping activity to which everyone is invited to participate by taking an online survey, and expert meetings.
