Welcome to the OER Synthesis and Evaluation Project Wiki.
This project provides objective, ongoing evaluation and synthesis of the HEFCE funded programme which is being run in collaboration between the Higher Education Academy and JISC through three linked activities:
- A generic framework tool will provide a strong foundation and common language for collating data from projects. The framework will allow us to structure our interventions with projects, and will be used a means of evaluating the 'openness' of their outcomes. The framework will be developed in collaboration with the support team so that support can be focused on those areas identified as most challenging or interesting, and so that evidence about the effectiveness of support in different areas can also be evaluated.
- Strand-specific evaluation activities will address how different communities and cultures are progressing towards openness in their shared practice. These will recruit mixed methods to examine social, technical, pedagogical and legal / organisational issues in each strand, and provide a synthesis account detailing barriers and opportunities for change.
- The final synthesis report will include recommendations to the funders and to the stakeholders represented in the three strands of the programme, and a version of the framework tool for use by the sector to audit progress towards more open practices around educational resources.
