  • Start date: 2010-08-01
  • End date: 2011-08-31
  • Status: complete

Expanding on the success of the Phase One 'Organising Open Educational Resources (OOER)' pilot project, the PORSCHE project seeks to unlock a substantial amount of learning resources by working in partnership with NHS services through the NeLR to document issues and raise awareness of mutually useful resources and tools, and to pilot (at least) metadata exchange between Jorum Open and the NeLR.

Aims and Objectives

PORSCHE envisages seamless access to academic and clinical learning resources for healthcare students in practice based training.

Anticipated outputs and outcomes

  • A substantial number of OER in healthcare education.
