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.

The Index of Medieval Art

The Index of Medieval Art houses, contextualizes, and presents images and information relating to the iconographic traditions of the medieval world. Founded in 1917 and maintained by a specialized staff of art historians, it serves iconographic researchers through both its physical archive on the Princeton University campus and an expanding online database. Its ongoing program of conferences and publications provides opportunities for continuing scholarly and public discourse about the visual culture of the Middle Ages. Once a subscription service, the online database has been freely available to the public since 2023. Online holdings comprise 177, 306 (to date) online records of works of art from early apostolic times to ca. 1600. While western European and Byzantine Christian art remain most heavily represented, secular, Jewish, and Islamic art is also being added.

The Medieval Podcast | A Medieval Paper Armoury with Chassica Kirchhoff

To picture the Middle Ages is to picture knights in shining armour. Custom-made, fashionable, and often beautiful, medieval armour was more than just practical: it was art. And in the late Middle Ages, a collection of talented artists captured the functional elegance of armour on paper. This week, Daniele speaks with Chassica Kirchhoff about armour as protection, art, and memorial in the Thun-Hohenstein Album.

3D Printed Glass Fabrication and Applications

In this video, Michael Stern, artist, engineer, scientist, designer, and co-inventor of molten glass 3D printing, traces glass fabrication from traditional blowing to additive manufacturing. He shares how he first encountered glass, what drew him to 3D printing, and how his parallel passions for mechanical engineering and glassblowing eventually converged into the invention of a new process. The 3D printing process involves a printer that works by heating a crucible of molten glass, which flows through a nozzle while a build plate moves layer by layer. The object is typically built over the course of 20 minutes to two hours, depending on its size. Rather than forcing the material, Stern emphasizes that working with glass requires listening to it, as it is a "loud material" with its own opinions. He advises those learning and working with glass to break challenges into small, unremarkable steps, given that innovation is simply the result of adding those steps together over time. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project. Special thanks to Michael Stern for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

The Medieval Podcast | The Art of War in Byzantium with Georgios Theotokis

From the social media buzz we saw a couple of years ago, it seems a lot of people spend a lot of time thinking about the ancient Roman Empire and its military activities, but less time thinking about how it evolved into the Middle Ages. With the heart of the empire now in the city of Byzantium, how did the military face new challenges while holding onto its legacy? This week, Daniele speaks with Georgios Theotokis about the military culture of the Byzantine Empire, how people learned strategy and tactics, and how the Roman military machine changed over time.

The History of the Future with Adriaan Duiveman | In a Nutshell

Can we predict the future? How is identity shaped by the past? And how can history help with making sense of our present? In today’s episode, Antonia and guest Adriaan Duiveman go – quite literally – back to the future and talk about how a historian ends up studying a time that hasn’t even happened yet. And why being a “futurologist” is anything but straight-forward. Adriaan Duiveman is a postdoc at the Faculty of Arts, where he researches crises – and the stories citizens, authorities and opinion makers tell in and about them. Would you like to learn more about the future, the past and the present (or at least one way of looking at it)? Then Adriaan recommends the novel “Time Shelter” by Georgi Gospodinov.
