TOUCANS
Testing the OER University Concept and Aspirations: a National Study
TOUCANS is a research project being carried out by Gabi Witthaus as an Open University SCORE Fellow, which investigates the OER university (OERu) concept and its possible implementation within the UK Higher Education sector.
The project draws on Leicester’s experience in a range of UK OER projects including OTTER, OSTRICH, TIGER and SPIDER.
Details of the research questions and methodology are available on the About TOUCANS page.
