	<swrc:abstract xml:lang="en">This case study shows how a young and innovative university such as WOU has been able to transform its course development processes from &quot;wrap-around textbook based&#039; model using courses it bought from the Open University of Hong Kong to an Open Educational Resource (OER) based course development model, and as a result achieving three positive outcomes in one stroke. These were substantial cost reduction in course development and delivery, quality enhancement from the use of a variety of multimedia OER and increased internal capacity building for innovative course design and development. This case study describes the experience of developing and delivering one of WOU&#039;s courses based almost entirely on available Open Educational Resources as part of adoption and implementation of an OER policy and Open Educational practices in the University. This was one of the pioneer courses which sought to adopt a new course development policy eliminating the use of copyrighted material. Schools or studies were urged to use, reuse or repurpose available OER or create their own OER and the University is now in the process of revising all its copyrighted textbook based courses as well as course bought from other universities.</swrc:abstract>
