Introduction

This textbook is structured around three interconnected thematic areas that reflect key dimensions of Open Education in higher education contexts: OER Policy, Support and Resources, and Open Educational Practices (OEP). This textbook is designed to support different layers of reuse, recognising that readers will engage with its content in different ways depending on their needs and experience with Open Education. Level 1 – Some may simply read and explore the chapters to gain an understanding of OER policies and practices. Level 2 – Others may discover reusable sources by following the referenced toolkits, frameworks, case studies, and openly licensed materials included throughout the book. Level 3 – For practitioners ready to implement Open Education, many of these resources can be adapted and remixed to fit local institutional, disciplinary, or linguistic contexts. Level 4 – Finally, the textbook also provides editable templates, practical tools, and implementation examples that can be directly reused when developing policies, workshops, support services, or educational resources. Chapter 1: Navigating the OER Policy landscape Chapter 2: Support and resources for Open Education Chapter 3: Practical tips for trustworthy OER reuse, adaptation and co-creation Chapter 4: The role of domain specific communities UNESCO OER RECOMMENDATION AREAS The textbook is strongly informed by the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (2019), which provides an international framework for supporting the development and sustainability of Open Education. The chapters engage with the five UNESCO OER Recommendation action areas: Building capacity of stakeholders to create, access, re-use, adapt, and redistribute OER Developing supportive policy Encouraging inclusive and equitable quality OER Nurturing the creation of sustainability models for OER Facilitating international cooperation Throughout the textbook, these action areas are referenced to help situate practices, policies, and resources within broader international Open Education developments.

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.

Research Data Management: Open Data

What is Open Data? Open Data is data that anyone can access, use and share. Open Data challenges intelligent and creative minds to provide societal value. Open Data applications allow us to make better use of existing resources and create new products and services. Open Data is also one of the cornerstones of Open Science, a concept central to science practitioners and policy makers of today, promoting (re)use of research data and results amongst scientists, the business community and society as a whole. Open Data and academic research In academia, Open Data are used in humanities and cultural heritage research communities (e.g. Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD), Europeana); Open Data are also common in the life sciences (e.g. Elixer) and in economics (e.g. World Bank). Some open datasets can be useful to explore societally relevant questions relevant to current policy debates and topics of interest to specific demographics. Open Data is also important for educational purposes (e.g., see Bishop & Kuula-Luumi, 2017). Open Data applications Open Data helps to create (new) value for societies, citizens and businesses. There are now several examples of successful startups with innovative applications of Open Data. Appealing examples are available in health, transport, energy and the environmental sector (see ODINE for examples). I want to work with Open Data. Where to start, who to contact? A good starting point for information and inspiration on “all things” Open Data is the Open Data Handbook. This online handbook provides case studies, learning resources and networked information on Open Data. Related. Support.

Key topics include open access publishing, open and FAIR data, preprints, open peer review, and sharing research tools and methods. The session will also cover practical tips on how you can integrate open science practices into your own research from the start of your graduate journey. By embracing open science, you contribute to a more inclusive and impactful scientific community.

Inclusion, religion and heritage in secular adult learning environments

This handbook is one of the results of the Erasmus+ project REBELAH. The REBELAH project was designed to help foster more inclusive learning environments in adult education. Studies have shown that members of minoritized religious and ethnic groups experience trouble in educational settings, as learners from the majoritized groups feel uncomfortable when they are in their group. The REBELAH project aimed to create tools and activities that can help trainers and learners foster more inclusive and safe learning environments. These tools and activities have a particular focus on (European) cultural heritage. This handbook provides guidelines for trainers (and trainer trainers) who want to use cultural heritage modules and activities in their teaching to help foster a more inclusive learning environment. In has theoretical sections that introduce different (teaching) activities, as well as detailed descriptions of activities that teacher can use in class/training.
