Health OER Inter-Institutional Project Formative Evaluation of Health OER Design Phase

The review was to be based on a study of relevant documents, interviews with academic staff involved in institutional policy making and OER production, interviews with students who had experienced OERs (in cases where this was possible). The evaluation approach was not intended to be judgemental, but rather to explore experiences (on progress, achievements and blockages) thus far. Respondents were to be invited to look back in a way that provided experiences as a basis for identifying issues relevant to further project development. Broad approval of the Evaluation Brief was received together with valuable guidance in respect of the conduct of the review, particularly in relation to institution-specific circumstances.
