The Open Educational Practices in Scotland project aims to widen participation and transitions in education through open education and practices. It has engaged with over 50 partners through workshops, projects developing open educational resources (OER), and research. Current work includes producing exemplar OER courses on Parkinson's disease and end of life care, with plans for more OER on topics like seaweed and caring for water. The project also works to improve authoring tools to make creating OER more user friendly.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Ronnie We know there is a lot of work to do to maintain focus in creating high quality free materials, to encourage re use, and to ensure that the agenda of free and open remains high on the political agenda, and people will have a chance to explore this in the afternoon in the Open Scotland declaration session. The next promise is not so easy, we have large numbers, but it seems we have made things accessible we have not always broadened participation, certainly not in the strict sense of broadening the socio-economic base of those accessing education. Our sense is the best way to meet this challenge is to learn from what we (and many others) have done to explore how to broaden the socio-economic base of those accessing education. We think we have a great deal that can be learnt and applied from those working in this area, and we are pleased that so many have come along today. I think what it suggests is that there is a coming together of those interested in using the freedoms and low transaction costs of sharing openly licensed materials online and those who are working in communities with those distanced from education.
