Development of the OER
The Learning Technologist at UCA is responsible for creating the OER. The Learning
Technologist will undertake three visits to Zandra Rhodes Studio in order to keep in contact
with the project team during the creation of the Digital Study Collection. A decision about the
key 25 looks to be used in the OER will be made in collaboration with Zandra Rhodes and
her team and in consultation with the OER focus group of fashion teaching staff. VADS will
then supply the agreed images and metadata for the 25 fashion garments to the Learning
Technologist. The new Digitisation Unit in the UCA Library will assist the Learning
Technologist with the digitisation of any complementary primary and secondary source
material required for the OER. The Learning Technologist will collaborate with two key
members of academic staff from UCA fashion programmes, and ten students from across
the UCA undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, as well as two external academics
in this subject area, who will constitute a focus group that informs the development of the
OER. The OER will be piloted on the University’s student portal, myUCA, and feedback will
be gathered in order to further refine the OER before its deposit on Jorum.
Embedding the OER
The following UCA programmes have been identified where the OER could be embedded:
BA Fashion, BA Fashion Promotion & Imaging, BA Fashion Management & Marketing, and
BA Fashion Journalism on Epsom campus; and BA Fashion Atelier and BA Fashion Textiles:
Print on Rochester campus. At first year level these courses share a module on the cultural,
social, and economic contexts of 20th century and contemporary fashion where the OER
could be utilised, and the Digital Study Collection and the OER could also be employed at
MA level and research degree level to stimulate independent research projects and further
the critical reflection and contextualisation of Zandra Rhodes’ creative practice. The OER
will be embedded through close collaboration with a focus group consisting of UCA staff,
students, and external fashion teaching staff; and the OER will be further disseminated and
embedded through workshops organised in conjunction with the UCA’s annual Learning and
Teaching conference.
Important issues to be addressed
- IPR - formulating a suitable licence and consortium agreement that respects and
protects the commercial interest of Zandra Rhodes Studio whilst also allowing for
non-commercial use of the digitised garments; establishing the copyright status of
any primary source material and secondary source material that is required for the
OER.
- Digitisation workflow - devising and implementing a suitable workflow for selecting,
preparing, digitising, and cataloguing the garments in-situ within a working fashion
and textile studio.
- Collection care - ensuring the unique, highly valuable, and delicate garments within
the Zandra Rhodes collection are handled, stored, and cared for appropriately
throughout this process.
- Interoperability - ensuring compatibility with established metadata standards adopted
within the library/archive communities and adherence to digitisation best practice.
