UKOER pilot phase sources

This page lists the sources of materials offered by the projects funded by the Academy/JISC OER pilot programme. See also the page for phase 2 and the  summary page.

The main aim is to provide information on the end points for interoperability services such as the location of syndication feeds (RSS and ATOM), OAI-PMH base URLs, SRU targets, and other APIs that may be available. In all cases the intention here is to create links to materials that have been created by the project. Therefore the websites listed are the websites where the content is hosted, and not the project websites; the RSS feeds are feeds containing a list of resources created by the project, not news about the project's progress, and so on. A fuller listing of project outputs, findings, reports etc. is included in the OER Infokit

Some reflection on this exercise are available here: Phil's JISC CETIS Blog: UKOER Sources
