Aims and objectivesAims and objectives
• To provide a model of embedded digital and information literacy support into teacher training at higher education level;
• To release a small sample of open educational resources to support embedding digital and information literacy education into institutional teacher training courses accredited by the HEA including PGCerts and other CPD courses;
• To customise local repositories to provide access to these resources.

• Why LSE and UoB? - Carillo workshop• Educational developers could make use of
generic Information and Digital Literacy material in PGCerts
• Many librarians have already created valuable resources
• Sharing …– helps model best practice– saves time and money– is good for your institution and your reputation

Review processReview process
• Worked examples:– Follow a template – overview; resources
available; format; credits/hours; which parts of IL/DL frameworks met; which parts of UKPSF met; module breakdown
– LSE• Already has material embedded in their PGCert• Worked example has timings etc
– Bham• Doesn’t have material embedded in PGCert• Used generic material which fitted nicely with existing
modules in PGCert

Review against existing frameworksReview against existing frameworks• Mapped UKPSF to SCONUL 7 Pillars and
Digital Literacy framework• Reviewed content against UKSPF,
SCONUL 7 Pillars (S7P) and OER best practice
• Aim to enhance value of material by increasing it’s opportunity and likelihood of re-use
• Created 4 worked examples

Conversion to OERConversion to OER
• Learning curve quite steep• Challenges mostly due to inexperience!• IPR issues• Review content
– 3rd party content most common issue– Dealing with screenshots
• Add Creative Commons information• Metadata

Customisation of IRCustomisation of IR
• IRs increase the visibility of material • IRs assign permanent urls for content• Additional metadata for OERs
• Based on UKLOM standard• 7 Pillars, UKPSF• JORUM requirements
• Both UoB and LSE use ePrints repository software
• Customise display of OERs • Layout improved to show key OER metadata at a glance• Thumbnails of PDF’s and Office docs displayed
automatically

Customisation of IR (cont…)Customisation of IR (cont…)• Option of using plugins to display
material via embedded viewers• Look is similar to HumBox
– http://www.humbox.ac.uk/• Birmingham’s repository finished:
– CC licence and metadata added, and external screenshots removed
• LSE have a created a new instance of their repository. A test version is up and running

• Identified deposit workflows• Investigated automatic harvesting and
direct download options– SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering
Repository Deposit )• Used manual deposit (easier as small
number of resources)• Still need to upload resources to Jorum

IssuesIssues
• Are DL / IL resources more institutionally specific than other teaching materials?
• IPR issues can be problematic• IPR issues avoided by removing content
e.g. screenshots and using placeholder• CC licences: Non commercial / 2.5 or 3.0• Keeping materials up to date in
repository• Reusing LSE/UoB material - how practical
is it?

Lessons learnedLessons learned
• DL and IL underpin teaching courses but not explicit in framework
• Potential to re-use some DL / IL materials and to promote them better to teachers and educational developers
• Improving creator workflow for resources– Record teaching material creation and store
resources in a single place– Map resources to establish frameworks– Make OER considerations such as embedding
CC information etc, early on

DELILA Workshop: PanelDELILA Workshop: Panel
• How feasible is it to share IL and DL resources – Within an institution?– With another institution?
• Should DL and IL be embedded into teaching qualifications and is this the best approach?
