    Summary: Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for online presentation.

  • “I set out to create that same sense of the student sitting alongside me, one-on-one. If you can pull it off, it’s powerful. In particular, if you can create that feeling of intimate human connection, the student will overlook a lot of imperfections and problems.”

  • This UKOER phase 2 project was working closely with the NHS eLearning Repository to explore sharing open educational resources across clinical (i.e. NHS) and academic (i.e. HEI) settings in the UK. We worked with Jorum to look at potential ways to represent OERs in both repositories to increase access to both datasets via access from NHSNet and JANET.
  • The work of the project built on the excellent partnership established in our previous UKOER phase 1 pilot project, OOER, and extended and embed the good practice development begun in phase 1, together with equivalents such as the eLearning readiness toolkit developed by the NHS.
  • Alongside this important work, we further developed the concept of a Consent Commons to make sure that the interests of patients and non-patients appearing in clinical recordings used in OERs are fairly represented (in accordance with UK Data Protection and Privacy and Electronic Communications legislation, following the guidelines from the Information Commissioners Office), alongside the copyright and ownership interests - typically represented in, for example, a Creative Commons license.

    Martin Weller argues that openness in education has been successful in establishing itself as an approach. However, this initial victory should be viewed as part of a larger battle around the nature of openness. Drawing lessons from history and the green movement, a number of challenges for the open education movement are identified as it enters this new stage.

  • This makes it permissible to embed the videos into learning materials as the YouTube player is the means by which this happens, in contrast to downloading and converting them to another format which is not automatically permitted.
  • This is, however, on the basis that the video has been uploaded with the permission of the rightsholder and thus not infringing copyright in the first place.
