Open Education Case Studies: A Variety of Shades and Formats

Abstract

This chapter features a number of case studies that illustrate the variety of shades and formats of open education (OE). The unbundling and institutional detachment of the traditional formal education package provides the opportunity to develop services around the respective component parts of a larger curriculum, such as ‘Open Content’, ‘Open Degrees’, ‘Open Assessment’, ‘Open Learning’, ‘Open Tutoring’, ‘Open Technology’ and ‘Open Communities’. Each of such component parts potentially in turn allows for the development and provision of services that might be provided not only to the learner, but also to education providers, as depicted in Fig. 1.
