Description
Based on the findings of these two studies one author secured HEFCE funding for a project to develop new OERs to support and enhance face-to-face teaching. These resources are dynamic and combine video content with interactive activities and will be hosted on a streaming law TV channel. Reflecting student feedback (Williams, 2017) the resources will sit outside of specific modules at programme level and will be accessible throughout the programme of study. The OERs will be showcased during the session and attendees will be able to witness how we not only captured the student voice but involved students at every stage of the design and production of the resources. Existing research evidences how the use of student created content engages students in disciplines as varied as chemistry (Benedict and Pence, 2012) and marketing and accounting (Greene and Crespi, 2012) and this presentation will show attendees how to develop high quality OERs that are student centred.
