  1. Releasing materials in sector priority areas A(i) Jo Masterson, Higher Education Academy

  2. Successful projects will be expected to: • Release a reasonable level of existing and new teaching resources e.g. • Projects requesting £250,000 will be expected to release 360 credits • Projects requesting £125,000 will be expected to release 180 credits • Deposit in JorumOpen and in at least one other openly accessible place with an RSS/Atom feed e.g. • Institutional website or blog • Web 2.0 service • Projects required to report on how: • resources are being used • resources are being promoted and made discoverable • OER release is being made possible in the institution(s) they are linked to

  3. Eligibility • Higher education institutions funded by HEFCE • English further education colleges delivering more than 400FTE • Higher Education Academy Subject Centres (as consortium leaders)

  4. Restrictions to eligibility In order that we do not continue to support projects that are not otherwise sustainable, teams funded to lead projects in the pilot phase (funding circular 14/08) will not be eligible for funding to continue these projects under strand A(i).

  5. New release projects – sector priority areas • Higher Education delivered in a Further Education setting; • The professionalisation of education to include the provision of HE-level education to new staff who teach at any level, and/or sustainable development; • Specialist courses linked to the needs of particular sectors of employment, for example those noted as “new industries” (employer support would be expected); • Resources optimised for work-place or work-related learning (employer support would be expected); • Distinctive subjects, where a low volume of provision exists currently and a convincing argument could be made for the benefits to cognate disciplines; • Arts subjects including the performing arts - using a range of text-based and non-text based resources. http://www.bis.gov.uk/Policies/new-industry-new-jobs
