New Jorum story now available - 'JorumOpen - Pushing the boundaries of physical sciences'
This second Jorum story, written in conjunction with Tracey Madden at the UK Physical Sciences Centre <http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/physsci> , outlines some of the challenges faced in gaining exposure for resources, and maintaining project sustainability. We take a look at how using JorumOpen can increase usability and visibility of resources deposited by exposing them worldwide, along with the benefits of making resources truly open.
"Using JorumOpen has allowed us to share a very wide range of OER released through Skills for Scientists with a worldwide audience of users."
Tracey Madden, UK Physical Sciences Centre
