The University of Plymouth currently has three Open Educational Resources (OER) projects funded by JISC and the Higher Education Academy.

These projects are funded from Phase 2 of the HEFCE-funded Open Educational Resources (OER) programme, managed jointly by the Higher Education Academy and JISC. The programme runs between August 2010 and August 2011, it will build on and expand the work of the pilot phase around the release of OER material, and commence research and technical work examining the discovery and use of OER – specifically by academics.

The OER projects currently running at the University of Plymouth are:

• Learning from WOeRK: OERs for CPD in the workplace
• The Open Fieldwork (OF) Project
• The Educational Development Open Resources (EDOR) Project

These projects build on the experiences ganined from the previous C-change in GEES Project, funded under the Open educational resources programme – phase 1
