As part of the University Elevate team's blog takeover, in May 2026, members of the OER Steering Group contributed the five blogs posts:
Introducing Open Educational Resources, by Deborah Taylor and Rebecca Barnes.
How does the University support Open Educational Resources (OER)?, by Helen Moore.
Student Involvement in OER, by Alexis Moschopoulos & Helen Moore.
The Open Educational Resources Steering Group - reflections and next steps for the University of Sheffield, by Louise Robson.
OER and the Sheffield Education Experience, by Dave Forrest.
These provide a helpful range of perspectives on the principles of OER and their relative benefits, experiences in the development of and engagement with OERs and the University's aspirations to widen uptake of OERs throughout the Sheffield community.
