Good news from Wales, forwarded from the OER-Discuss list. There was also this follow-up statement: "Higher Education Wales (the Welsh branch of UniversitesUK) have agreed to a common statement of principles which was signed by the last of the [university Vice Chancellors] yesterday. It should appear on their website shortly."
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Haydn Blackey <[email protected]> Date: 19 September 2013 08:05 Subject: Doing OER in HE nationally To: [email protected] Hi all, I’m glad to be able to announce the work we have been engaged with in Wales for the last few months. Today Wales is able to confirm the commitment of all Welsh Higher Education institutions to the adoption of Open Educational principles to support Open Education Resources and Open Education Practice: * http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/welsh-universities-commit-to-sharing-course-material-online/2007451.article *<http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/welsh-universities-commit-to-sharing-course-material-online/2007451.article> As you can imagine getting all the nation’s VCs to commit to this has been a time consuming, but we hope valuable exercise. Now to deliver on the promise of this collaberation.
