[Open-education] POERUP: Policies for OER Uptake

Thu Nov 20 09:02:18 UTC 2014

POERUP, Policies for OER Uptake, was a project part-funded under the 
Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission during the period 
November 2011 until June 2014 inclusive. The overall aim of POERUP was 
to carry out research to understand how governments can stimulate the 
uptake of OER by policy means, not excluding financial means but 
recognising that in the ongoing economic situation in Europe the scope 
for government financial support for such activities is much less than 
it was in the past or is now in some non-EU countries such as US, Canada 
and Australia.

Now that the project has come to an end the POERUP Project Manager, Paul 
Bacsich, has written a post for us highlighting the main outputs.

They include:

  * A global inventory of over 500 relevant national and other
    large-scale OER initiatives
  * 11 country reports and 22 mini-reports
  * Policy advice reports for universities, schools and colleges.
  * An OER maps and overview reports

It really is a very impressive project!
