4. The HEFCE/JISC/HEA OER programme (14/08) Aims to make a wide range of learning resources created by academics freely available, easily discovered and routinely re-used by both educators and learners. Expected that funded projects demonstrate long term commitment to release of OER resources. Projects working towards sustainability of long term open resources release via the adoption of appropriate business models to support this Recommendations may include modifications to institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making open resources release an expected part of the educational resources creation cycle Source: Hardy, S.
