In this short guide, the authors aim to give you an introduction to the area of open education, so that you can engage with open education practices in your teaching and support activities and to Go Open!
The guide is structured around five key questions about going open: 1. What is open education? ; 2. What are open teaching and learning practices? ; 3. What is Creative Commons licensing? And How do I use it? 4. What are OER? ; 5. How do I find and use open resources?. Each section gives a short definition of the key concept, some analysis of the literature and some examples and resources of open education practice for you to engage with in more detail.

This toolkit draws on our experiences facilitating a SATLE-funded community-engaged learning project that brought students of the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (UCC) together with people in Cork seeking international protection for a series of three wellbeing and creativity workshops.
