Following on last year's announcement of a
national Open Education
declaration for Welsh Higher Education, some good news from Scotland.
The Open Scotland group acknowledge that changing practice is the real
goal and the declaration is just a starting point, but it's a significant
step. Wikimedia UK are mentioned by name.

Dear all,
(Apologies for cross posting.)
In order to coincide with Open Education Week last week the Open Scotland
initiative released a public draft of the Scottish Open Education
Declaration
http://declaration.openscot.net/ Open Scotland is a a
voluntary cross sector initiative led by Cetis, SQA, Jisc RSC Scotland and
the ALT Scotland SIG, which aims to raise awareness of open education,
encourage the sharing of OER, and promote the development of open policy
and practice.
One of the primary deliverables we agreed to produce following the Open
Scotland Summit (
http://openscot.wordpress.com/2013/10/09/open-scotland-report-and-actions/) held
in Edinburgh last year, was a declaration supporting open education in
Scotland based on the UNESCO Paris OER Declaration. There was general
agreement that the Paris Declaration was a "good thing" however
many participants felt it was too focused on OER and that a Scottish
declaration should encompass open education more widely. The result is
the Scottish Open Education Declaration, a draft statement adapted from the
Paris OER Declaration.
The first draft of the Scottish Open Education Declaration has been shared
online using the CommentPress application to enable all members of the
community to add comments and feedback. We invite all those with an
interest in open education to comment on and contribute to this draft and
to encourage their colleagues to join the debate

Many thanks.
Lorna
