OERUP (Policies for OER Uptake) is a European project approved by the Lifelong Learning Programme under Key Activity 3 ICT

The aim of this project is to examine policies on OER in Europe with some external examples. AU investigators Terry Anderson and Rory McGreal are representing the external participants. 

The Consortium is a group of organisations across Europe and Canada interested in understanding how better to foster the uptake of OER by governments and groups of educational institutions.

It consists of:

• Two open universities (Open Universiteit and Athabasca University)
• Two campus universities, but both with capacity in distance education (University of Leicester - the Applicant - and Vidéoscop, Université Nancy 2 - the Evaluator)
• Two specialist e-learning consultancies (Sero - the Coordinator - and SCIENTER)
• One Europe-wide e-learning association (EDEN)

The Project Manager and lead bid writer is Professor Paul Bacsich.

The Scientific Lead is Professor Gráinne Conole

The project office has created this wiki to hold some of the early results of its researches and to act as the initial project management and content site pending the creation of the project web site and technical discussions on the eventual content wiki:
