Coventry University Collaborates with BibliU to Expand and Enhance Learning Materials through Engage Product

London, UK – October 28, 2024 – Coventry University is expanding its commitment to affordable education by broadening access to Open Educational Resources (OER) for its students. In partnership with BibliU, the university will provide a seamless, unified platform for access to an array of OER materials. To further support student engagement with these resources, Coventry is also launching BibliU’s Engage product to enhance how students interact with course materials. The initiative marks an important milestone in Coventry’s ongoing efforts to ensure affordable and equitable access to education.

Coventry University approached BibliU with a clear vision: expand the use of OER while addressing common challenges such as discoverability, quality, and consistency. In response, BibliU tailored Engage to meet Coventry’s specific needs, enhancing OER resources with integrated assessments, standardised formats, and multi-functional question types—all designed to create a more cohesive and supportive learning experience.

Why Engage?

Largely driven by feedback from students and faculty, Coventry partnered with BibliU to enhance and expand the OER learning experience. Engage addresses a number of key challenges such as discoverability, quality, and consistency of existing OER content . By integrating interactive elements, assessments, and analytics, Engage not only provides seamless access to content but also enriches the learning experience, equipping students with additional tools to support their academic success.

Key Benefits:

  • Institutional Cost Savings: By enriching OER, Engage enables Coventry to deliver high-quality educational resources at lower operational costs, supporting the University’s commitment to financially sustainable and inclusive education.
  • Enhanced Content Quality: Engage elevates the standard of OER resources, converting in-book questions into dynamic, interactive question types and standardising formats for better readability and engagement.
  • Content Engagement Tools: Going beyond basic content access, Engage offers customisable assessments, quizzes, and in-book discussion features, fostering a more interactive learning experience by facilitating deeper understanding and collaboration within courses.
  • All-in-One Platform: Students and faculty can access all course materials in a single platform, making OER usage seamless and intuitive.
  • Actionable Analytics: Engage provides insights into student progress, enabling faculty to tailor instruction and support based on data. These analytics allow for a more targeted approach to teaching, helping to boost student success.

How It Works:

  • Faculty: Engage makes it easy to integrate enhanced OER resources into courses, offering quality, interactive materials that match the standards of traditional resources. The platform also provides actionable insights to help track student engagement and tailor interventions.
  • Students: Ability to access high quality course materials from any device, participate in dynamic assessments, and enjoy a cohesive learning experience designed to meet their needs—all in one place. 

Coventry’s collaboration with BibliU is part of ongoing efforts to build a more inclusive and accessible learning environment. Coventry is proud to deliver innovative and inclusive OER solutions that enhance accessibility for all students. Faculty members curious about the Engage feature or broader OER initiatives at Coventry University are encouraged to get in touch to learn more. Please reach out to Dal Badesha, Head of Learning Resources and Student Experience (lbx156@coventry.ac.uk) & Alice Taylor, Customer Operations Manager (alice.taylor@bibliu.com).
