Opening UCL: A symposium on Open Education

This afternoon symposium will explore the different perspectives of Open Education – a facet of Open Science – and how these are practiced by staff and students at UCL.

There will be presentations from UCL staff and students about their experiences using and publishing open educational resources (OER), as well as speakers from other UK institutions.

This free event will be open to all and is delivered by the UCL Open Education project with support from UCL Library Services and UCL Digital Education.
