Work undertaken by the Art Design Media Subject Centre suggests that the development of open educational resources and practices poses distinct opportunities, as well as challenges, for creative practice higher education (Practising Open Education, 2011).
Open educational practices may support staff/student, cross- and inter-institutional collaboration; provide opportunities to articulate the nature of creative practice higher education; raise individual, departmental and institutional profiles; and perhaps
the recording, digitisation and sharing of skills-based resources may free up time to spend on other aspects of teaching.
Some of the challenges relate to unclear understandings of, and conflicting motivations for, the development of open educational practice. There are concerns about its relationship with, and impact on, established disciplinary teaching practices, staff roles
and workloads. There are also issues about quality; the need for institutional policies, systems and provision of technical support; and the consequences of ‘giving away’ hard-won resources.
Discussions also raise questions about how burgeoning open educational practices relate to pressing issues of digital literacy.
This one-day forum, aimed at tutors and managers in creative practice higher education, will showcase the work of individuals, departments and institutions working towards more open educational practices in art, design and media disciplines. It aims:
· To capture, recognise and share the work of individuals, departments and institutions in developing open educational practices in creative practice higher education.
· To allow specialists in the OER field, to present examples and discuss current developments in the creation and use of licensed educational materials.
· To enable those attending the event to engage in open dialogue about themes and issues that are emerging around the creation and use of online teaching and learning resources.
