About the Book

Open Education Down UndOER: Australasian Case Studies is a curated, peer-reviewed, openly-licensed anthology comprising scholarly contributions from esteemed professionals including librarians, researchers, learning and teaching teams, and engaged open education practitioners across Australia. Future editions will seek to extend this coverage to Aotearoa New Zealand, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

This OER is intended for use in learning and teaching communities in higher education. The book aims to benefit and inspire faculty academics, information professionals, research communities, and financial delegates responsible for institutional textbook procurement. The audience will also include third space professionals such as librarians, curriculum developers and learning designers in supporting open educational practices in their institutions.

Through offering insights from other academics who present case studies in their own teaching context, we aim to introduce the notion of open pedagogy to the broader group of academics and instructors who endeavour to enhance the student learning experience in their teaching. The case studies in this text are intended as a catalyst to action, offering practical examples that are transferable across institutions and disciplines.
