Week 4 | CREATIVITY & COMPASSION: Visualisation and metta

The Open Access movement aims to democratise scholarly knowledge for the public good. While traditionally aligned to journal publications, the movement now encompasses Open Education and Open Research.

Without a goal to work towards it’s hard to grow and learn. Some goals are easy to achieve, but they don’t stretch us to improve. Goals that are too big can feel unachievable and be demotivating.

Open Textbooks are a recent innovation in free, digital texts, and they’re the topic of this exciting panel discussion with experts from UTS and Deakin University. 

Week 4 | CREATIVITY & COMPASSION: Visualisation and metta

Open educational resources (OER) offer many benefits for teaching and learning in higher education.

When setting up your space it is crucial that you put some thought into where that might be.

Open data is a story of opportunity with far-reaching benefits. Equitable access to data advances scientific inquiry and increases opportunities for learning, engagement, and innovation.

Leading a well-rounded life also means taking into account the needs we have outside of being productive – this includes our relationships with friends and family, homes, hobbies, education, work and health.

Are you interested in making your research Open Access? There are many approaches for how this can be done. This workshop will provide an overview of what Open Access is and tips for how you can find appropriate journals to publish in.
