Open Education Handbook

Open Education Handbook Overview

The Open Education Handbook is a collaboratively written living web document targeting educational practitioners and the education community at large.

Open Education is a topic which has become increasingly popular in a variety of contexts. The Open Education Handbook has been written to provide a useful point of reference for readers with a range of different roles and interests who are interested in learning more about the concept of Open Education and to help them deal with a variety of practical situations.

As a “living” online document, we hope that it will continue to evolve, reflecting cutting edge research and innovation in this area and helping educational communities to come to an improved understanding of the value of open.

It was initially written as a LinkedUp Project deliverable and kickstarted through a series of booksprints.
