‘The idea of redesigning something offered by the OU is a little daunting, even if they do have publishing/editing control. I will probably limit myself to some key skills modules where I can do less damage.’

Learner A

‘You cannot actually do any damage because your work is copy of the original’ Learner B

‘You may not do any damage but it is still daunting all the same. I think most of us have respect for other people´s text and feel quite shy to meddle with it. Perhaps a younger generation will feel less inhibited?’ Learner C

Encourage the development and adaptation of OER in a variety of languages
