In September 2013 the European Commission announced the launch of 'Open Up Education' initiative (European Commission, 2013b) to improve the digital literacy in Europe through Open Educational Resources (OER).
The overall aim of this change project was to introduce video-based educationalresources in not-for-profit, third level educational institution. Literature review wasconducted to identify the benefits and challenges of OER and the methods andmediums of delivering OER. Senior and Swailies' change model was used as framework for the change. Different environmental tools were used to diagnose thesituation and change champions were approached to do a pilot video to gaincommitments for the vision. Gantt chart was used when developing an action plan toimplement the change.

Overall the change agent is confident that the overall aim and objectives for the project has beenachieved successfully with the biggest organisational impact is the fact that thecollege now has official contribution to the international OER movement.
