Open University OER Transformation Models
Lane, A., (2006). From
Pillar to Post: exploring the
issues involved in
repurposing distance
learning materials for use
as Open Educational
Resources. Found at:

• Integrity model: OER is very similar to the original material
• Essence model: Material is transformed by cutting back to essential features and new activities added for interactivity.
• Remix model: Material is used as a starting point but the unit is redesigned for ideal web based delivery.
Open, Transferable and Technology-enabled Educational Resources: the OTTER project
• Funded by JISC and the HE Academy
• May 2009 to April 2010 as pilot institutional OER project
• Enabled evaluation of systems and processes to support the release of high-quality OERs at Leicester
• Made use of JorumOpen and the Plone CMS.
OTTER achievements
• 360+ credits’ worth of OERs
• Promoted Leicester and the UK HE sector globally
• Research evidence on satisfaction and attitudes to OERs
• Put-up take-down guidelines for OERs
• Leicester OER toolkit
• The CORRE framework for turning teaching materials into OERs
• Much increased awareness of OERs at Leicester and elsewhere
CORRE roles and responsibilities at Leicester
Key
Academic
OER project manager
Copyright administrator/ librarian

OER evaluator, editorial board or HoD
Institution Area New/existing
CORRE or Adapted CORRE?
Bath

New Adapted CORRE
Derby
Law Existing CORRE
Hairdressing New Adapted CORRE
When is CORRE used? Examples from Derby and Bath:
Derby - background• University owns the materials.
• Centralised team – CORRE very suitable.
• A range of subject areas from quarrying to education...
• Mainly transformed existing materials.
Derby case study – CORRE for Law
Key (Derby)
Academic
OER project manager

Learning Technologist
Developer
Bath - background• Learning & Teaching Enhancement Office, Engineering,
Division for Lifelong Learning, Education (100 credits total)
• No central OER team at University of Bath
• Development of a framework for creating OER ‘from scratch’
Bath – IP PolicyIPR at Bath is complex:
- University owns IP of all work undertaken by staff;
- Academics own materials produced for campus-based teaching. BUT …
- … the University owns materials produced for distance education.
This leads to DORRE…
