Research Informed OERs for Further Education, Higher Education, and CPD

Continuing our research led focus for Open Education Week ’26, this collection highlights excellent research informed OERs for Further Education, Higher Education, and continuous professional development students and learners. Many of these open resources were created as part of the University’s free short online courses.

Creating OERs from current research is a great way to share research and innovation, encouraging public engagement, diversifying teaching materials and contributing to our shared knowledge commons. It’s also in line with the University’s Learning and Teaching Strategy 2030 and its core purposes of engaging and empowering learners, supporting inspiring teaching and supervision, and developing a future ready curriculum.

Research Led

 

As a research-intensive University, we will continue to ensure our teaching benefits from our research by actively engaging our students in the process of knowledge creation and exploration, and affording them greater opportunities to work with our researchers. Through exposure to current research findings, methodologies, and debates within their respective fields of study we help our students to develop a deeper understanding of their subject matter, contributing to the advancement of their disciplines. By engaging our students in research-led learning we develop their critical enquiry skills, inspire creativity in problem solving, and prepare our students for potential careers in research, academia or industry.
