This week is Open Education Week and colleagues on the Digital Developments blog wrote a post on Monday to highlight some of the open education initiatives that we have worked on at LSE in the Library and in CLT. The main one is of course LSE Learning Resources Online, which is a collection of open educational resources, many of which were produced during the JISC / HEA funded project DELILA.

I recently took part in a short project also funded by the HEA and JISC to see how the open educational resources we created as part of DELILA might be used internationally. The project was called CoPILOT and there is now a short case study about how to promote and share resources internationally on the DELILA website. Working with the University of Birmingham and UNESCO we looked to build an online community of practice for sharing information literacy resources, and used a platform provided by UNESCO called the WSIS Knowledge Communities platform.

OERs are not online courses, they are simply resources, and our main audience was other teachers, but the concept of open education and encourage teachers to share their resources is something LSE CLT should be proud to be involved in.
