The Art of Reuse and Adaptation

This open textbook is a practical guide to Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) in higher education. Developed collaboratively by librarians, educators, researchers, and Open Education practitioners across the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL), it brings together policy analysis, practical guidance, and reusable tools into a single, adaptable resource. The book is built around three themes: policy, support, and practice. It looks at how policy shapes Open Education, what infrastructure and support make it sustainable, and how to build trust and create inclusive resources together with students and colleagues. Throughout, a Universal Design for Learning lens invites readers to critically reflect on the accessibility and inclusivity of open resources themselves. True to the values it explores, the textbook is designed for more than reading: it invites active reuse. Readers can explore its chapters, follow its curated toolkits and case studies, adapt its frameworks to local contexts, or reuse its editable templates directly. It’s aligned with UNESCO’s international recommendations on open education, openly licensed, free to adapt, and ready to grow through the contributions of others.

USDN Game of Floods

The City of Baltimore led an effort to develop a climate training toolkit for local governments to utilize as they train their own staff on opportunities to support climate adaptation and resilience progress. The goal of the training is to equip city staff with the knowledge and resources to “mainstream” or “operationalize” climate change preparedness and resilience into planning, engineering, operations, and maintenance activities.

Transport Resilience

This 90-minute lecture reflects on long-term transport infrastructure and innovation investments from a resilience perspective. Three adaptation approaches are compared in terms of their strengths and pitfalls. Mobility as a Service is assessed in terms of its resilience characteristics but also the vulnerabilities due to greater dependency on the security and reliability of digital and energy platforms. Assignment included- Leylilijn rail line case

Freedom and Safety in Transportation: Speed controls and other techno-regulation in driving

This case focuses on Jilles Smids’ paper “The Moral Case for Intelligent Speed Adaptation” (2015) to explore whether techno-regulations (like cars that prevent drivers from speeding) should be used to promote public values like health and safety, to what extent they are in contrast with individual freedom, whether such techno-regulations are morally acceptable, and why or why not.

MicroLab Open Educational Resources 2023

Our University of Groningen Microlab on Open Educational Resources. This presentation is part of a Microlab, a more active workshop setting with more time for participants to engage with OER and course design. It briefly recaps earlier studied information on Open Education and OER, before providing space to both look for OER, and adapt them to the courses the participants provide at the University of Groningen. The assignments interspliced between the information slides are focused on reflecting on the search, evaluation, adaptation, and creation processes of OER. The workshop was provided by specialists from the library and education support and innovation departments.

Conclusion

The conclusion highlights the value of reuse and adaptation as approaches to rethinking existing resources and creating new possibilities. It emphasises the importance of understanding the potential of what already exists and exploring how it can be transformed, reinterpreted and applied in new contexts. Reuse and adaptation provide opportunities to connect past and present, preserve existing value and encourage creative and sustainable approaches to change.
