A distinguishing feature of our distributed VLE is integration of a range of complementary learning technologies: Moodle , Equella , Talis Aspire , campusM , etc, based on: In consultation with library colleagues we devised a workflow for including digitized materials (stored in Equella), in reading lists, held in Talis Aspire and publicised in Moodle. As part of new Unit (module) approval procedures introduced to support MMU’s EQAL curriculum transformation initiative, tutors are required to provide reading lists that distinguish items to buy, essential and further reading.

Open educational resources (OER) are digital materials that can be re-used for teaching, learning, research and more, made available free through open licenses , which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted under copyright alone. [ 1 ] As a mode for content creation and sharing, OER alone cannot award degrees nor provide academic or administrative support to students. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] However, OER materials are beginning to get integrated into open and distance education . [ 4 ] Some OER producers have involved themselves in social media to increase their content visibility and reputation. [ 5 ]
