The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the Open Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project. OER refer to freely available educational materials that can be reused, revised, remixed, redistributed, and retained under a Creative Commons license. The OEPS project, led by the Open University in Scotland, aims to increase awareness and use of OER by working with over 50 organizations across sectors. The project has learned that while OER provide opportunities, their abundance can also present barriers unless support, communities of practice, and social learning models are developed.

- 4. OER Free educational materials (and mainly courses) that are licensed to allow the 5Rs: reuse, revise, remix, redistribute and retain MOOCS are free to use but not necessarily open in the above sense
- 6. The OEPS project Cross-sector project in Scotland tasked to increase the awareness and use of OER. Led by OU in Scotland as part of its outcome agreement with the Scottish Funding Council. Currently working with around 50 organisations …
- 7. Origins An extensive range of partnerships between the OU in Scotland and other organisations: third sector, unions, employers, colleges and schools. An increase in interest in OER and the development of some partnerships to co-produce new material and practices. Adults, transitions and widening participation.
- 8. What we’ve learnt • Lots of material but this is both an opportunity and a barrier: • Too much? • Where do I start? • What’s the level and is it the right level? • Structure and motivation?
- 9. Put’s the onus on support, development of communities of use and communities of practice
- 10. Developing Practice Practice is about design, structure and support But also about partnership, networks and social models of learning

Editor's Notes
- #5: Ronnie We know there is a lot of work to do to maintain focus in creating high quality free materials, to encourage re use, and to ensure that the agenda of free and open remains high on the political agenda, and people will have a chance to explore this in the afternoon in the Open Scotland declaration session. The next promise is not so easy, we have large numbers, but it seems we have made things accessible we have not always broadened participation, certainly not in the strict sense of broadening the socio-economic base of those accessing education. Our sense is the best way to meet this challenge is to learn from what we (and many others) have done to explore how to broaden the socio-economic base of those accessing education. We think we have a great deal that can be learnt and applied from those working in this area, and we are pleased that so many have come along today. I think what it suggests is that there is a coming together of those interested in using the freedoms and low transaction costs of sharing openly licensed materials online and those who are working in communities with those distanced from education.

- #11: Ronnie Open education practices encompass, as any education practice that stretches and tests the spaces between online and face to face education, it draws in a lot of different educational practices. Our focus is on the pratices around how one designs learning in for and through openness, but also (and we feel this is crucial) the educational practices that structure and support learning in the open, and it is ours sense at the moment these are best served through opening up the academy to new voices and through bringing learners in by bringing in those they to use andtrust, through partnerships with those that support those most distanced from education.
