CAUL Enabling a Modern Curriculum OER Project
Drawing on learnings from CAUL’s open research advocacy, this project will
develop and enact a plan for advocacy related to OERs, with a view to raising the
visibility of the OER agenda and related issues. The project will focus on both
local and national advocacy. The Project Team will deliver an advocacy toolkit for
member institutions to use for local advocacy, and will plan and undertake
advocacy at a national level. National advocacy will target the DVCsA and
government.

CAUL Procurement Licence Review
Jisc has already proven that model licensing can be successful within a consortium framework. 99% of all JISC agreements utilise a Jisc models license. This project will utilise expertise in the CAUL collective to create model licenses more suited to CAUL Member Institutions. It will utilise that expertise to review licenses supplied by vendors. Jisc have confirmed that their model licenses can be freely used as a starting point for CAUL model licenses. The current Fast-Track license is based on a Jisc Model License. The group will also look at renewal processes to identify where annual agreements can be renewed on existing licenses, on invoice or addendum.
