Talk by Leo Havemann
Embracing Open Educational Practices in HE

As open educational practices comprehend a series of activities,
resources, techniques and models, the idea is to introduce these
practices to HE educators so they can find the strand that suits them
the most to be applied in their teaching and learning.

modelling, information and citizenship as can be used to work in
scenario based learning
