To release digital and information literacy open educational resources (OERs) for embedding into institutional teacher training courses eg PGCerts;
To customise local repositories to provide access to these resources.
DELILA - Developing Educators’ Learning and Information Literacy for Accreditation
PGCert could make use of generic Information and Digital Literacy materialMany librarians have already created valuable resources
Sharing helps model best practice and saves time and money. It is also good for your institution and your reputation
Lessons learned
Key points
Keep IL/DL material in a single place
Make OER considerations a key part of creator workflow eg embedding Creative Commons information
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is a big issue and needs to be discussed at the highest institutional levels – need institutional permission to release institutional OERs
Creative Commons licences - we agreed to use 3.0 but plug-in for automatic integration into word/PPT automatically attributes 2.5
Audit of material – a great way of identifying material which may otherwise be overlooked.
Mapping to main frameworks - UK Standard Professional Framework; Sconul 7 Pillars, FutureLab Digital Literacy Framework; CORRE framework (Content. Openess. Re-Use and Repurpose. Evidence.)
Conversion to OER format – Simple changes such as addition of Creative Commons licence, creating alternative versions in different formats, etc
Customisation of Institutional Repository – better look and feel; metadata amended to allow framework metadata to be added; links to Web 2.0 options
Deposit – once items are deposited in the IR, we want to utilise auto-harvesting into OpenJorum
