Project Aims
POCKET aimed to build upon the OpenLearn approach by extending it to other HEIs. Specifically, the initial project objectives identified the following areas to investigate:
- capitalise on the investment in OpenLearn to build a wider pool of quality assured HE-level Open Content
- provide support for learners adopting independent learning strategies
- explore the potential of Open Content for HEIs, both as providers of it and as users
- promote effective mechanisms for converting existing course materials into stand-alone educational resources
- determine the cost of creating Open Content from existing course materials
- create a new module with all materials developed for it designed as Open Content
- demonstrate seamless interoperability between Open Content and other repositories
- add a significant resource to JORUM OPEN.
Although the project successfully met a number of these aims, a full description of how the project evolved and an overview of the final outputs acheived is presented in the project Final Report, available to download from the project resources section.
