Opening doors at Oxford

Release audio and video podcasts as OER (open content).

Investigate and disseminate the institutional implication of OER release.

Authorship and use of OER as academic practice for research-led teaching

Content that is licensed in a way that makes it freely available to anyone who wants to use it

why this is important to Oxford

Open content literacy is knowing when and why open content is

needed, where to find and share it, and how to create, evaluate, and use

it in an ethical manner.

As head of More Able and Talented at a large state school, I am constantly looking for resources to improve our teaching and your podcasts are giving us just that opportunity. Members of the English department are now using Wittgenstein’s Dabbit illustration in the way you did and finding it to be a very effective approach …..

our more able students are being encouraged to listen to the podcasts both to improve their understanding of the plays and to encourage them to believe that the Oxford is not a rarefied and unattainable target, but operates at a level they will find accessible.

Thank you for offering online your lectures on introductory quantum mechanics, and thank you for providing a PDF copy of your text. The text is a marvellous resource, and your lectures are exceptionally lucid and compelling. I am learning a great deal and enjoying them very much. I teach high school science and maths, and I hope I can pass along to my students (at least some of) these ideas with the same excitement and clarity.
