The aim of this project, delivered by JISC Legal, Web2Rights Ltd and Creative Commons UK, is to provide intellectual property rights and licensing support for JISC/HEA funded OER Phase 2 projects, in order to help them identify and manage IPR issues with particular emphasis on the use of Creative Commons Licences. The range of advice and information sources produced are also freely available and of value to other open educational resource projects. A starter pack and diagnostic tools are available, and the website also hosts a blog for the discussion of relevant issues.

The purpose of this online learning object is to explore the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) that may be within multimedia items, and to highlight some of the complications and considerations that need to be taken into account before a deposit of this type can be made into a repository.
Following two short introductions to multimedia and to copyright, questions are then posed on some of the details of copyright within varying item types. Feedback on, and an explanation to, the question’s answers are given. Also included is a short exercise looking at what needs to be taken into consideration before allowing a performance video item into a repository. The learning object concludes with a look at Performers’ Rights and highlights what repository staff should be aware of in regard to this IPR within potential repository deposits.
The material of this learning object has been adapted from the interactive ‘Multimedia Deposits: Complications and Considerations’ presentation given at the 2009 Gregynog Colloquium WRN Repository Stream.

The Edublog Awards website can be a good way of discovering new blogs relating to education. The Awards, now in their sixth year, can also be used to see how blogs and other electronic educational tools have developed over that time. There are 19 categories in the 2009 Awards, covering aspects such as best educational use of audio/video/ audiovisuals and best educational use of a virtual world/social networking service.

The Dead Media Project is a database of reports compiled by members of the Project’s mailing list, who contribute information on means of communication that are now obsolete. It is a characteristic of the Project that among the various comments that each posting generates there is often someone who can report that a supposed Dead Medium is still in use somewhere. Nevertheless, the site mostly records the dead and the fantastical: the phenakistoscope, the teleharmonium, Piesse’s Smell Organ, Loutherbourg’s Eidophusikon, Hummel’s Telediagraph, runic tally sticks, Scopitone, pigeon post, pneumatic mail, the whistling networks of the Canary Islands, and numerous moving image and sound devices that are no more. The Dead Media Project has itself been dead since July 2008, but it is worth looking at the pages via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to retrieve the information held at that date.

In May 2016 the Open University Worldwide online store posted the following:
"Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the “Good Study Guide”, and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice."

This site presents a selective history of ‘the interaction between technology and the body’. It incorporates automata of the 16th-18th centuries, photographic and cinematographic records of bodies in motion from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Marey, Muybridge), and contemporary examples of ways in which science is mapping the outer and inner workings of the body, including the Visible Human Project. Previously available at: http://access.tucson.org/~michael/Intro.html, this site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine.

IMPALA (Informal Mobile Podcasting and Learner Adaptation) is a Higher Education Academy-funded project researching into the use of podcasts in university teaching and learning. It has produced its own series of podcasts offering guidance for staff on how to use this resource. There is also a blog providing up-to-date information on the project. A linked project, IMPALA 2, is investigating the impact of podcasting on student learning in Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES), and delivers testable and transferable models of using podcasting for learning in these subjects. IMPALA4T investigates the use of ‘student created’ podcasts to support the transition of students into higher education. The project seems to have concluded but the website contains much useful information.
