This case study focuses on student engagement with Open Educational Resources (OER) and is based on the Cascading Social Science Open Educational Resources project (thereafter referred to as 'cascade project') undertaken by C-SAP (Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Sociology Anthropology and Politics) between August 2010 and August 2011 as part of the second phase of the HEA/JISC-funded UK OER programme. This project sought to cascade support for embedding Open Educational Resources within the social sciences curriculum. The project team strove to create opportunities for project partners to incorporate engagement with student perspectives on the use of OER to support learning. Where possible partners have incorporated OER into their teaching offering their students a chance to provide feedback through surveys and focus groups. Students were also involved in user testing of the resources being developed in the context of the project.
