The OER Toolkit

Today we had a Skype call about the Open Educational Resources (OER) toolkit. It was very useful and cleared up some confusion. We agreed that the toolkit is very useful for people that are new to open publishing and provides good pointers for what needs to be looked at. Once someone has been through it a few times, they do not have to keep using it for every resource as they will already be familiar with the issues they are likely to encounter.

As part of the OVAL project we will be looking at adapting the toolkit for the veterinary profession as some of the language used and topics discussed for the medical toolkit are not really appropriate. So watch this space!
