I'm pleased to announce the success of our bid to run the FETLAR project.

The FETLAR,Finding Electronic Teaching Learning and Assessment Resources, project is the UK MSOR community's bid addressing the Open Educational Resources (OER) call from HEFCE/JISC. This project takes place in the pilot phase to encourage and enable the open sharing of educational resources. The FETLAR project addresses the challenge associated with students’ mathematical skills and competencies on transition into higher education and the need to raise the retention rate of first-year students on science and engineering courses.

JEM partners, and other colleagues, are most welcome to contribute to this project. More information will be published in the near future when we have signed our concortium agreement.
