EVENT - Using OERs in HE in FE: Degrees of edupunk?
University Centre at Blackburn College
11 June 2012
The aim of the workshop is to increase delegates’ awareness
of OERs and their use in HE in FE. The lack of lecturer time is recognised as a
major barrier impeding the use of OERs and therefore the workshop’s interactive
nature will provide opportunities for direct engagement with a variety of
resources. The event will demonstrate how such resources have been deployed in
HE in FE and will make suggestions as to how such initiatives can be
effectively recorded. The workshop also intends to encourage pedagogical
reflection on the utility of OERs for the delivery of HE in FE.

The roles and activities of people in engaging themselves and others; The places and contexts in which SE happens and how this is influenced by these contexts and The practices of students and staff which foster (or impede) engagement.
