Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a HEFCE-funded SCORE fellowship which is investigating UK perspectives on the OERu (OER university) concept. Thirteen non-UK universities are collaborating to provide affordable higher education for learners in developing countries via OERs and low-cost assessment.
