Open Education at the UAL  Focus and discussion group meetings – All Welcome

What: Open Education at the UAL

Where: Wimbledon College, 1st floor meeting room

When: 25th April 12:30 – 14:30

Dear Colleagues,  You are warmly invited to a series of focus and discussion group meetings around the theme of encouraging and supporting UAL staff and students to participate in the growing worldwide open education movement.  These meetings will examine what is involved in sharing some of our learning resources openly on the web for others to use and how this may benefit staff, the UAL and students.

If this is new to you, here is a link to a list of reasons to ‘Go Open’ – what do you think? http://process.arts.ac.uk/content/inside-out-benefits-sharing-our-learning-resources.   The meetings are part of the work of two UAL projects that are tasked with exploring and improving our ability to create and share open learning resources and to develop the skills and confidence in staff and students to work and collaborate in the digital world:
