This policy outlines the University of Edinburgh's position on Open Educational Resources (OERs) and provides guidelines for practice in learning and teaching.
The University encourages staff and students to use, create, and publish OERs to enhance the quality of the student experience, increase the provision of learning opportunities for all, and improve teaching practices. It also recognises that the use and creation of OERs is consistent with the University’s vision and values; to discover knowledge and make the world a better place, and to ensure our teaching and research is relevant to society, diverse, inclusive, and accessible to all.
This document provides background, University position and guidance for the use of OERs in learning and teaching at the University of Edinburgh.
