“While open education is primarily about changing culture and practice, education technology can be a key enabler. Scotland has long been at the forefront of technology supported education innovation and there are many examples of pioneering open education developments across all sectors of Scottish education…. The next step forward is to join up these initiatives and develop policy support and guidance to enable the culture shift required to embed open education practice across all sectors of Scottish education.”

Do we have permission to use an open licence?

Does it matter what open licence we use?

Does it matter how we cite openly licensed resources?

Key challenges• I’ve never heard of open licences/OER• I don’t see the benefit of sharing resources

openly/using OER• My resources are not good enough• My resources are too good• At the moment, I just do what I like and that’s

working out fine for me• Making, finding & accrediting = extra work
