Why should openness be the default?
“The world’s knowledge is a public good” (Atkins, Brown & Hammond, 2007)
…and all people should have free access to it. “‘Open’ … op2mizes the possibili2es for the advancement of knowledge … necessary to tackle the increasing complexity and scale of the world’s ques2ons for Research.” (Van der Vaart et al., n.d.)
Areas of focus in the study
• Sharing and reusing resources • Characteris2cs of open pedagogic models • Learning in an open world • Sharing educa2onal knowledge openly • The influence of openness in research Semi-‐structured interviews informed by literature 14 academic staff 1 each of: learning technologist, staff developer, librarian

Open pedagogic models 1. a. The teacher’s role changes from source of
knowledge to learning adviser. b. The student takes responsibility for their learning, including what they learn.
2. Knowledge is co-‐constructed through mutual interac2on and reflec2on between teacher and students.
3. The development of knowledge and skills required for tackling and solving problems has priority over subject-‐centred knowledge transfer.
4. Students learn primarily from each other, as a community.
