Quantitative deliverables, as reported to the OU National Advisory Board: SCORE report May 2012. As one example shows: "Globally LORO has exceeded 1.5 million page views and receives just under 1000 visits a month from all over the globe. 1,100+ registered users have uploaded over 2500 resources for language teaching and learning, which have been downloaded more than 20,000 times in the last six months alone."
Collaborative partnerships across HE & FE institutions and with industry/public/voluntary sector organisations are not reported below, but project reports and case studies show evidence of how these have been developed and sustained by SCORE fellows or taken up through specific OER networks/groups.
