National Forum
The National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is the national body responsible for leading and advising on the enhancement of teaching and learning in Irish higher education. In partnership with students, staff and leaders in Irish higher education, the National Forum works to develop an inclusive, collaborative and innovative culture that maximises learning impact for the success of all students.
An independent review of the National Forum, published in 2018, deemed it to be an ‘essential component of the national-level infrastructure for higher education in Ireland’ and recommended its establishment on a sustainable basis.

UK Open Textbooks
Open Textbooks are a form of OER that has seen significant impact and success in the US and Canada. The UK OpenTextbooks project was funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation with two main aims: firstly to promote the adoption of open textbooks in the UK, and secondly to investigate the transferability of the successful models of adoption to the UK.
The UK open textbooks project are proud to sponsor OER19 and distribute a report on the findings of the project. The report details the approaches for adoption, and the differences in context. The project successfully raised awareness of open textbooks over a one year period and found a higher and further education environment that was ready for further development in this area.
