As part of this we explore how ALT Members supported the design, development and running of the course as well as the technical challenges of facilitating a distributed learning experience and in particularly helping learners make connections to knowledge and people in an open learning space.</p>

<p>The desire to develop open education frontiers has often focussed on improving access geographically to distant students, or to those unable to gain a place in Higher Education, through digital provision. However, these resources often fail to understand the accessibility challenges they raise and what needs to be done to avoid them. The Inclusive Learning Special Interest Group (ILSIG) sought to raise the profile of accessible practice with resources and applications with the ALT and TechDis communities, but this was often limited to those with special interest in this. With the loss of JISC TechDis we have taken the opportunity to progress a more accessible and inclusive approach through the OpenEd SIG, where we hope it fits more comfortably with its broader agenda to reach a wider audience.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">We will have a number of speakers who will share their experiences in improving access to Open Educational Resources and a discussion.</span></p>

<p>Creative Commons (CC) licences are a simple way of retaining copyright whilst allowing others to reuse your work. The range of licences lets you define how others can reuse your material. This session will demonstrate how simple it is to use CC licences and what they mean in practice.<br />
<br />
We will also introduce the UK repository JORUM, demonstrating how to apply CC licences to materials as you deposit.<br />
<br />
<strong>Presented by</strong> Vivien Sieber and Siobhan Burke.<br />
<strong>Moderated by</strong> Alex Fenlon.</p>

<p>The University of Warwick Language Centre and the Centre for Applied Linguistics are partners in an EU project called Video for All. The project’s mission is to support language teachers in all sectors in the exploitation of video for teaching. The Language Centre has been innovating in the use of digital media for some time and is the subject of a Jisc Digital Media case study. Video for All will produce exemplar practices for teachers which are searchable and available as Open Educational Resources. However, challenges are evident. The presenter has recently co-authored a submission to the Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) for a special issue exploring “Models of Open Education in Higher Education”. This webinar will discuss some of the issues we are dealing with in the hope that the OER sig will be able to contribute to our discussions and offer feedback on our decision making process.<br />
