Hi Bjeorn,

Research articles are great sources, less so if they are written by those
involved, but still valid sources. References from other organisations
would be very good.

Unfortunately I've realised that a lot of the text of the article is copied
from here:
https://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/centres/cce/initiatives/projects/oer4schools/ which
is a copyright violation. As far as I can see, that page is copyrighted (no
Creative Commons license), so the copied text needs to be removed and
re-written/paraphrased instead.

Thanks,
Stuart
