Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
About usThe Opening Educational Practices in Scotland project facilitates best practice in Scottish open education. We aim to enhance Scotland’s reputation and capacity for developing publicly available and licenced online materials, supported by high quality pedagogy and learning technology.

What do we mean by OEP?We think of Open Educational Practices as those educational practices that are concerned with and promote equity and openness. Our understanding of ‘open’ builds on the freedoms associated with “the 5 Rs” of OER, promoting a broader sense of open, emphasising social justice, and developing practices that open up opportunities for those distanced from education.

Mapping … Some mapping worksUsing maps to tease out questions about relationship to placeEveryday nature, embedding in but extending the notion of everyday
Some doesn’t We mapped methods onto context but people were unfamiliar with language. Later reflecting “their generation” not used to being asked

Prototype and Beyond

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
Evolving Prototypes… Digital images started to appear in books, then later people started to bring in tablets with “Citizen Science” apps on them

What we learnt… From designing prototype to what prototype enabledReflections on mobility, public transport, worries about their bodiesIncreasing confidence, health and well being, exploring new places, rekindling old interests and generating new ones. Changes to the environment physical and seasons, and social and community

What we learnt: Changing Values
Values1 = inclusive approaches to collecting biological dataValues2 = environmental awareness, health and well being, digital participation
14
Opening Educational Practices in Scotland
What we learnt… Participatory approaches mean not just WHAT and HOW but also being adaptable re VALUE
Focus on the process, it can take time, learn confidence to know when to stop talking
Recognise and record changing values in the design process “the thing” may simply be a mediating object for other transformations.
