This opening up of teaching prac tice is occurring alongside apocalyptic predictions for HE (e.g. blah). 60\; Whether such extreme predictions will play out will only be seen in t ime\, however\, it would be acting like the proverbial ostrich to ignore t he significant shifts that HE is currently navigating. \; The need for rapid and continuous change has never been so pressing. While development s to date have improved teaching practices more needs to be done to facili tate ongoing enhancement in teaching and curriculum design.  \;I propo se that engagement with open educational practices (OEP) is one powerful w ay to achieve this.\nExperience at the University of the Arts London (UAL) indicates that engagement with OEP is an effective tool to support change in HE teaching and learning practices. \; We have found that OEP acts as an excellent ‘\;lightening conductor’\; to identify underlyi ng pedagogic conceptions and practices. \; Making implicit models of l earning and teaching explicit through OEP is an important step in developi ng the skills and infrastructures needed to operate effectively in a chang ing HE landscape. These benefits have also seen engagement with OEP move f rom the edges of our institutional agenda to feature as a component of str ategic planning. This session will provide an overview of some of UALR 17\;s activities in supporting teachers to engage with OEP together with t heir reflections on the experience\, paying particular attention to the af fective\, cognitive and practical factors involved. \; UAL’\;s st rategic direction in this area will also be considered in light of the bro ad benefits potentially achieved through OEP.\nNancy’\;s Bio:\nNancy Turner is \;Associate Dean Learning and Teaching Development and Head of the Centre for Learning and Teaching in Art and Design at the Universit y of the Arts London in the United Kingdom. \; Her role involves strat egic leadership of the Centre and its activities and leading and contribut ing to institutional projects related to the enhancement of learning and t eaching.\nThroughout her career Nancy has gained experience of strategic l eadership of learning and teaching at institutional level as well as strat egic management of virtual learning environments. \; She has lead Mast ers programmes in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and developed contextual\, relevant and flexible continuing professional development for faculty and staff who support student learning.\nNancy's teaching experie nce in higher education has included development and delivery of courses i n classroom\, laboratory and distance learning environments in Canada and the UK.\nNancy chairs the Staff and Educational Development Association (S EDA) Scholarship and Research Committee\, is on the Editorial Board for th e Social Science Citation indexed Innovation in Education and Teaching Int ernational and is a reviewer for many programmes of the Higher Education A cademy (HEA) and several international journals.

This opening up of teaching practice is occurring along side apocalyptic predictions for HE (e.g. blah). \; Whether such extre me predictions will play out will only be seen in time\, however\, it woul d be acting like the proverbial ostrich to ignore the significant shifts t hat HE is currently navigating. \; The need for rapid and continuous c hange has never been so pressing. While developments to date have improved teaching practices more needs to be done to facilitate ongoing enhancemen t in teaching and curriculum design.  \;I propose that engagement with open educational practices (OEP) is one powerful way to achieve this.\nEx perience at the University of the Arts London (UAL) indicates that engagem ent with OEP is an effective tool to support change in HE teaching and lea rning practices. \; We have found that OEP acts as an excellent ‘ \;lightening conductor’\; to identify underlying pedagogic conception s and practices. \; Making implicit models of learning and teaching ex plicit through OEP is an important step in developing the skills and infra structures needed to operate effectively in a changing HE landscape. These benefits have also seen engagement with OEP move from the edges of our in stitutional agenda to feature as a component of strategic planning. This session will provide an overview of some of UAL’\;s activities in sup porting teachers to engage with OEP together with their reflections on the experience\, paying particular attention to the affective\, cognitive and practical factors involved. \; UAL’\;s strategic direction in th is area will also be considered in light of the broad benefits potentially achieved through OEP.\nNancy’\;s Bio:\nNancy Turner is \;Associa te Dean Learning and Teaching Development and Head of the Centre for Learn ing and Teaching in Art and Design at the University of the Arts London in the United Kingdom. \; Her role involves strategic leadership of the Centre and its activities and leading and contributing to institutional pr ojects related to the enhancement of learning and teaching.\nThroughout he r career Nancy has gained experience of strategic leadership of learning a nd teaching at institutional level as well as strategic management of virt ual learning environments. \; She has lead Masters programmes in Learn ing and Teaching in Higher Education and developed contextual\, relevant a nd flexible continuing professional development for faculty and staff who support student learning.\nNancy's teaching experience in higher education has included development and delivery of courses in classroom\, laborator y and distance learning environments in Canada and the UK.\nNancy chairs t he Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) Scholarship and Re search Committee\, is on the Editorial Board for the Social Science Citati on indexed Innovation in Education and Teaching International and is a rev iewer for many programmes of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and severa l international journals.
