Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
“Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these
open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range
from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and
animation.” (UNESCO definition)

• “Retain – the right to make, own, and control copies of the content;
• Reuse – the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a video);
• Revise – the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language);
• Remix – the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup);
• Redistribute – the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend).” (David Wiley, 5 March 2014)

Open Textbooks • On average total textbook costs are around $1200 each year in the United
States • In the United States “…Textbook wholesale prices have risen more than four
times the rate of inflation over the last two decades (1990-2009)” (Student PIRGs research)
• 63% of respondents to the 2012 Florida Student Textbook Survey “…reported not having purchased the required textbook because of the high cost…”

“In what ways, if any, has using OpenStax College textbooks impacted on your own teaching
practice?”
“It has led me to explore other open source material and other
ways to help my students receive a quality education at low
cost.”
“I use the textbook more during class time for
small group work, since students are more
likely to have it with them.”
“Changing to this new book gave me the impetus to flip my classrooms. After all, I was going to have to re-align
material...... so why not take the plunge?”
“Because I've got a high-quality primary source of information, I've got more time to find supplements, labs, to do activities, and to have discussions with my students. My
instructional practice has definitely improved
since I'm not having to seek out high-quality sources of information and have a trusted source.”
“I am teaching the way I want to teach, in the order and flow that I
want. I am free of any text book. The book is a resource...The book
no longer drives the course. I produce the curriculum. The book is
my servant. I am not its servant.”

“I wanted to make sure that there was dual attribution, so it wasn’t just attributing to GCU, I wanted the author to have their name on (…) so they can take [the resources] and evidence the development and the work they’ve done, and they can take them with them through their careers” Marion Kelt, on Glasgow Caledonian University OER policy
