This month we look at Open Educational Resources (OER) with Momna Hejmadi, Senior Fellow in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry. We’ll be talking about her involvement in a JISC/HEFCE funded project through the UK Centre for Bioscience where resources created at the University of Bath have been shared openly with the wider academic community.
The e-Learning Team will be taking a break from podcasting over the summer and will return in October 2010.
