Coughlan, Tim; Pitt, Rebecca; Farrow, Robert – Open Learning, 2019
It has been argued that Open Educational Resources (OER) present opportunities for innovation in education.

This paper presents a post-project analysis of the diverse uses and impacts of…

Dray, Beattie; Perkins, Andrew; Fritsch, Lynn Faller; Burke, Linda – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2010
Some undergraduate programmes require evidence of baseline numeracy skills as a condition of entry.

The report of the Panel on Fair Access to the Professions, chaired by Alan Milburn, was published at the end of the summer.
