The outcomes of our JISC/HEA Phase 1 OER project and objectives for our
JISC/HEA Phase 2 OER project.
(OER = Open Educational Resources)
• Virtual Analytical Laboratory (VAL) was part of Bioscience Subject Centre “Interactive Laboratory and Fieldwork Manual for the Biosciences”.
• JISC/HEA OER Phase 1.
• Aim: Turn VAL into an open resource.
• Content focused.
• Copyright cleared, accessible, interoperable.
• Web promotion an after thought.
Approach
• 9 lab topics (e.g. micro, histol, serial dilutions).
• Animation (swf), audio (MP3), PDF, video (FLV, MP4).
• Over 200 web pages of OER.
• Subscribe by RSS, iTunes.
Outputs
• Resources uploaded to JorumOpen.
• API Strips (328 Views)• Gram Stain (172)• Staff OER Questionnaire (167)
• Views could be me. Views doesn’t mean use. No measure of reuse. Hard to track repurposing.
