OEP?
“Open Educational Practices (OEP) are the use of open
educational resources with the aim to improve the quality of
educational processes and innovate educational environments.”
(Ehlers & Conole, 2010)

OEP?
We think of Open Educational Practices as those educational
practices that are concerned with and promote equity and
openness. Our understanding of ‘open’ builds on the freedoms
associated with ‘the 5 Rs’ of OER, promoting a broader sense of
open, emphasising social justice, and developing practices that
open up opportunities for those distanced from education.
(OEPs, 2016)
