Mapping to the PG Cert All Postgraduate Certificates in Higher Education (PG Certs) are
underpinned by the Professional Skills Framework (PSF) http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/ourwork/universitiesandcolleges/accreditation/ukpsf
We chose resources of particular relevance to the PG Cert (19 items) Mapped these to specific modules in our PG Cert and to specific sections
of the PSF. 2 worked examples
eg Module on Educational Enquiry – number of resources could be useful eg Captivate demo on literature searching, keeping-to-date webct course, endnote workbook
Aim of mapping – to increase transferability and re-use

OER checks and resource conversion
Based on CORRE framework (Content. Re-Use and Repurpose. Evidence.) http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/beyond-distance-resear

Key changes: Third party content – replaced with placeholder Adding Creative Commons licence
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/results.aspx?qu=creative+commons
Adding metadata (keywords and HEA tags) Additional formats – eg pdf
Customising the repository IRs increase the visibility and accessibility of material. Use of eprints
software (open source) – common in UK
OER customisation: Additional metadata for OERs
Based on UKLOM standard 7 Pillars, UKPSF CC licence JACS - JORUM requirements
Presentation Layout improved to show key OER metadata at a glance Improved previews Thumbnails of PDF’s and Office docs displayed automatically Change font size options Web 2.0 export options
Old style record
New record display
New List display
Next steps
Investigate SWORD (Simple Web-service offering Repository Deposit) to upload to JORUM
Ask librarians and Educational developers to evaluate the OERs
Continue to liaise with PG Cert re: embedding IL and DL
Encourage use of repository for teaching resources Continue debate around benefits of, and processes
for OERs

Lesson learned and issues Improve creator workflow
Keep IL/DL material in a single place Make OER considerations such as embedding CC
information etc, early on Individuals to submit their best material regularly
IPR issue ongoing Frameworks, CC licences – still developing Re-using LSE/UoB material
