JISC Open Educational Resources Projects 
Between April 2009 and April 2010, JISC and the HEAcademy are supporting pilot projects and activities that support the open release of learning resources; for free use and repurposing worldwide. This pilot programme is intended to inform a larger programme covering a significant portion of the HE Sector. Details of all the projects currently being funded can be found at the JISC OER web page.

In September 2011 JISC published a report 'The Value of Reuse of Open Educational Resources' that provides an overview of Open Educational Resources, including what they are, how they are chosen and used in teaching.

HLST Resources:

Peter Jarrett has produced for HLST a Position Paper that examines the delivery of Open Educational Resources through a specific subject-cloud. The position paper looks at current technological developments and the kinds of learning experiences and opportunities which are likely to evolve. He sees technology providing the link between learners, education and employers within a specific subject context, in a "subject-specific cloud".
