Jorum to move to open access

From ITC...


“It was announced today that Jorum, the UK national repository for learning and teaching materials funded by JISC, is to offer open educational resources. This will make it easier for lecturers and teaching staff to share and re-use each other's teaching resources.”

Jorum is a free online repository service for teaching and support staff in UK Further and Higher Education Institutions, helping to build a community for the sharing, reuse and repurposing of learning and teaching materials. Jorum accepts learning and teaching resources across all subject areas for both Higher and Further education in the UK. However the amount of content in each subject area is dependent on the community and people like you. Resources range from simple materials such as Word documents or Powerpoint presentations, to complex learning packages that combine various multimedia formats such as video, audio and animation. Once you have registered for a Jorum account you will be able to contribute, search and download resources.
