What is the ACTOR project all about?

Information about copyrighted materials and open educational resources can sometimes be a little daunting when you know you should find out about 'best practice' but can never find the time. After all, you don't know what you don't know! This 4.5 min cartoon has been created to explain exactly what the ACTOR project was about. The story follows 2 academics who are discussing how to find content for their lectures.

 

The cartoon refers to the ACTOR website, the risk-kit and various ways to find openly licensed content. Check out our 'OER for beginners' page to find everything you need to get you started.

If you have any questions about ACTOR or OER in general, don't hesitate to contact g...@medev.ac.uk.
