The Open Practice Unit at the University of the Arts London

http://www.elearningeuropa.info/sites/default/files/imagecache/content_detail_picture/asset/screen_shot_2013-05-02_at_09.24.32.pngThe Open Educational Practice (OEP) Unit at the University of the Arts London (UAL) was launched in 2012 and aims to explore definitions of what Open Education might mean and the implications of moving towards open online social spaces for learning. See the Website.

Further aims of the OEP are to explore existing and create new OERs that stem from participants’ own teaching practice and may include learning content and software tools that can be freely and openly shared on the web using a Creative Commons Licence.
The ultimate aim of this project is to develop a new 10 credit Open Academic Practice Unit in UAL’s Continuing Professional Development Framework (CPDF).
