22. Strategies…

23. Open Educational Practice (OEP)
A characteristic of Open
Educational Practice,
compared with
conventional forms of
professional practice, is
that it changes the
nature of relationships…

- Allison Littlejohn, Lou McGill, Isobel Falconer, Jay Dempster

24. What this change is?
• Between academics and support staff (as people
work in multi-disciplinary teams, sharing areas of
expertise);
• Amongst academics (as teaching practice shifts from
individual practice to cross-institutional and inter-
institutional collaboration);
• Between academics and students (as teachers and
learners (who may not be registered with a university)
interact in new ways);
• Between academics and organisations {including the
university where they are employed} (as university
activities open up).
