Whilst is is possible for an individual to quickly make their own materials open by hosting them on the web through their own website or through a community wiki or 'shared space' it is important to consider a range of issues affecting release.

Welcome to the project site of the Jisc Interactive Learning Resources for Skills project. At the end of 2014 we commissioned 22 training providers to create open educational resources for a wide range of vocational areas. The commissioned organisations are all funded by the Skills Funding Agency to provide training for apprentices in England. They are listed, with a brief description of their projects, and direct links to the content where available, on the right-hand side of every page of this site. Each commissioned organisation has had a mentor from the project team. Mentors are looking after five to seven organisations, encouraging networking and learning on all sides. Some organisations have written blogs describing their own learning journeys during the course of the project.

But a shift has taken place and citations have now gone far beyond being a simple link between two pieces of paper. Processes have been added, techniques refined and something new has been formed. I’m part of our digital infrastructure team and I’m going to tell you about the effects of that citation shift and how you can use them to your advantage.
