abstract |
This HEFCE OER review extends the synthesis framework used for the UKOER programmes
to include the aims and activities of SCORE, thus promoting a unified emphasis on
the programmes as part of a whole HEFCE investment in OER. The existing synthesis
framework has a number of key focus areas, each with a range of evaluation questions
that can be addressed by project teams as they carry out their individual project
evaluations. Individual project and strand/theme findings are mapped to the questions
in the framework, providing an overview of key issues and trends across the programme.
This approach highlights both key outcomes and significant outputs that demonstrate
evidence of these.
The framework for UKOER has evolved throughout all phases of the UKOER programme.
Evaluation & synthesis has been an iterative, two-way process such that projects and
support teams contributed to the development of the framework throughout and that
each iteration of the framework reflected current work. The OER phase 1 pilot programme
enabled the large scale release of OER, the three strands of funding allowed different
approaches, benefit cases and technical solutions to be trialled in a genuinely diverse
mix of contexts. Phase 2 extended OER release but also supported activity areas around
OER use and discovery. The current phase 3 projects are investigating the use of OER
and open approaches to work towards particular strategic, policy and societal goals
through a thematic approach: Theme A : Extend OER through collaborations beyond H;
Theme B: Explore OER publishing models; Theme C: Addressing sector challenges; Theme
D: Enhancing the student experience.
All three phases have explored individual, institutional and community issues around
embedding, sustainable practice and widening engagement with OER. This review of HEFCE's
OER work across both the UKOER programme and SCORE initiative both consolidates and
potentially expands the representation, themes and findings from previous synthesis
across the existing framework. A wide range of answer options (including an 'other'
free text option) in the detailed survey and the use of very open questions in interviews
allows new and unexpected themes and gaps to surface. However, encouraging respondents
of both the wider poll and the OER survey to choose/ state their 'top 3' also enables
us to identify more categorically the major influences and priorities across stakeholders. |
