Recently read an interesting post by Sheila Macneill from The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) regarding her recent “OER Road Trip” in the United States. Sheila draws on several very different institutions’ experiences and highlights the similarities between them, and attempts to correlate some best practices.
In particular the lessons learned in relation to funding, OER production, evaluation of quality, enhancement of material/academic standing, and sustainability are of interest.
