Dear All Hello, just thought I would reply here as I am now the Project Manager for Wales initiative. We are currently working on our project web site and blog and will soon be in a position to share the links which hopefully will give some more background. In terms of exactly how the buy in was achieved at a senior level that was before my appointment so I don't have the full details but I am sure Haydn will be able to advise on this. In the meantime, I guess you have all seen this link anyhow but here is the link to the details of the announcement of the declaration of intent in case this is helpful http://www.hew.ac.uk/wales-signs-declaration-of-intent-to-lead-the-way-on-the-use-of-online-education-resources/ Nice to e-meet you all by the way :) Kind regards Debbie Debbie Baff Open Educational Resources & Practice Project Manager Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching ˘xCanolfan Rhagoriaeth Dysgu ac Addysgu University of South Wales ˘xPrifysgol De Cymru Caerleon Campus ˘xCampus Caerllion Caerleon ˘xCaerllion Newport ˘xCasnewydd NP18 3QT Tel˘xFfon: 01633 432159 Email˘xEbost: [log in to unmask] ________________________________ From: Open Educational Resources [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Jacqueline Carter [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 18 March 2014 10:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Scottish Open Education Declaration Dear All, What would be really interesting for this list is information about how Scotland and Wales got senior backing for this. Whatˇ¦s the story behind these announcements? Lorna ˇV is this captured in a blog post anywhere? Who would know about this for Wales (Lis? Hayden?) David K (or others) ˇV is there anything to share at national levels from Jisc (or others ˇV ALT?) with regards to a consideration of this declaration for England?

If anyone else knows about similar initiatives in other countries I would love to see them. Congratulations to the Scottish advocates and keep on leading on the example.

In order to coincide with Open Education Week last week the Open Scotland initiative released a public draft of the Scottish Open Education Declaration http://declaration.openscot.net/ Open Scotland is a a voluntary cross sector initiative led by Cetis, SQA, Jisc RSC Scotland and the ALT Scotland SIG, which aims to raise awareness of open education, encourage the sharing of OER, and promote the development of open policy and practice. One of the primary deliverables we agreed to produce following the Open Scotland Summit (http://openscot.wordpress.com/2013/10/09/open-scotland-report-and-actions/) held in Edinburgh last year, was a declaration supporting open education in Scotland based on the UNESCO Paris OER Declaration. There was general agreement that the Paris Declaration was a ˇ§good thingˇ¨ however many participants felt it was too focused on OER and that a Scottish declaration should encompass open education more widely. The result is the Scottish Open Education Declaration, a draft statement adapted from the Paris OER Declaration. The first draft of the Scottish Open Education Declaration has been shared online using the CommentPress application to enable all members of the community to add comments and feedback. We invite all those with an interest in open education to comment on and contribute to this draft and to encourage their colleagues to join the debate http://declaration.openscot.net/ Many thanks.
