We have discussed this in the Centre and Chris raised an important point: if the logo of the host institution is included in the resource, can another user make use of that logo? What if the resource was modified but still carried the original University logo? We have to identify a means to recognise the provider institution without risking their reputation. A simple text identification may be most appropriate. I agree the employer of the contributor needs to be clearly recognised.

The Universities employ the academics and makes contributions to salaries, equipment, offices etc -t hey are expected to make matched contributions to the JISC funding. As they are commercial organisations, they are unlikely to agree to release materials if there is nothing in it for them. Prominently showing the source of teaching materials prominently is the least they can expect in return. I think that is essential that branding is maintained on OER materials.
