Apply and refine OTTER’s CORRE quality and evaluation framework for OERs at the two cascade partners;
-
Release a minimum of 100 credits’ worth of materials in the chosen priority areas at each institution within the 12 months of the project, deposited into the project repository and JorumOpen;
-
Provide a cascade model with associated guidance to enable partners to sustain the production and release of OERs beyond the duration of OSTRICH;
-
Offer practical and highly reusable guidance on designing for openness;
-
Facilitate the elaboration of draft policy documents for consideration by partner institutions;
-
Evaluate the interventions;
