  • 10.00-10:15   Openness from OpenLearn to OLnet to Bridge to Success ... and beyond Patrick McAndrew
  • 10:15-10.45   Bridge to Success: Helping US Community Colleges use OER Patrina Law, Tim Coughlin and Beck Pitt
  • 10:45-11.15   Building and Communicating Evidence of Effectiveness in OER through Collective Intelligence (http://ci.olnet.org) Anna de Liddo, Rob Farrow

Much of the evidence surrounding the use (and re-use) of OER is fragmentary or anecdotal. The OLnet project has developed a software tool for effectively gathering, sharing and judging the evidence around key issues of OER. The Evidence Hub distills key insights from the cloud of discussion and opinion creating a thematically indexed, structured ecosystem of organisations, project, issues, recommendations and evidence for the use of those who form the Open Education movement. In this presentation we explain the key concepts behind the Evidence Hub and some of its possible uses.
