Submit an OEP Best Practice

Share specific examples of your open educational practices with others! Provide a description of your best practice, noting whether it refers to innovation, improving quality, learning, using OER or something else, and press ‘submit’. The editorial team may ask questions  or request clarification, but once approved, your submission will be published as an example of good open educational practices.
If your Organisation has not registered in the OEP Register, please click here to add it to our database.
Please be specific. Describe how you managed to achieve greater openness in educational practices, policies or other fields. What were the challenges you encountered to start with? What works in your view? Were there particular phases you had to go through to achieve the result? How can others best learn from your experience? Please upload additional material, or give a link to a helpful resource, tool, description, website, etc.
How does the institution approach quality in OER? Is there any current indication of a quality concept or process? Does the institution perceive quality from the perspective of the quality of open educational resources or the quality of open educational practice? How does the institution show quality through OEP versus quality of OEP? What methods, concepts and practices are used to enhance the quality of OEP?
How can OER/OEP innovate educational practices? What current innovative practices are there in the institution? Please do not regard innovation from just a technology perspective!
What are the current OER/OEP policy arrangements at institutional and national level across Europe/the World?
What actors are involved in OER/OEP? Is there any evidence to show that OER actors do not always promote OEP but “only” access to OER?
What OER/OEP initiatives can be evidenced? Is there any evidence to show that OER initiatives do not always promote OEP but “only” access to OER?
Can you identify some case studies/ descriptions which form the illustrative base for a more general model of OEP?
What tools and repositories are being used to deliver OER/OEP? For example GLOW, Connexions
Are there any other special tools for OER/OEP? e.g. Cloudworks, in which practices can be discussed and validated?
Are there any tools for Visualisation? e.g. CompendiumLD
Are there any tools for Argumentation? e.g. Cohere
Can you identify any strategies for organisations to use OER/OEP? Can you identify any business models that promote OER/OEP?
What are the barriers to the use of OER/OEP? Is there any evidence to how these barriers have been overcome? What are the enablers to the use of OER/OEP?
