Posted on behalf of Neil McCormick, Education Technology Policy Officer, University of Edinburgh.
Thank you OE Global. We are delighted to receive this award, and we hope that the experience and approaches represented in these open policies and guidance will be of use to others grappling with issues such as safety, user rights and open licensing when teaching and learning is online or recorded. We are grateful in turn for what we have learned from the global OER community.
We’re also grateful for the leadership and encouragement we have within the University of Edinburgh that has created such opportunities for creating and curating OERs – in policy, and so many other areas – and that encourage us to engage strongly with the OER community. Edinburgh is, as Dr Melissa Highton says, a great place to work if you are interested in open education, open practice, open knowledge and open source edtech.
