A Skilled (Open) Hand and a Cultivated (Open) Mind: Goals, Policies and Case Study of Open Scholarship at RMIT University
- This event has passed.
RMIT University has worked to support Open Scholarship over several years. It now has a suite of resources and policies to support its goal to encourage and concretely support the development of Open Education Resources by RMIT staff. This online session outlines what Open Scholarship and Open Education Resources are, and their benefits, and introduces the ways in which RMIT now enables its educators to develop and publish open-access materials. This session explores a case study of open scholarship, an edited volume titled A Skilled Hand and a Cultivated Mind: A Culture of Learning and Teaching at RMIT University (2024; eds: Lee, Ducasse, Ni, Quek and Yoshida). The editors of this volume reflect on their experiences in developing this book for RMIT Open Press and how they collaborated with RMIT’s library to make it happen.
