About
This podcast series explores the movement towards ‘Openness’ at the University of Oxford and beyond. Informational videos address topics ranging from ‘What is Openness?’, to ‘Open Educational Resources’, to ‘Podcasting’, while individual interviews with researchers and academics at the University offer fascinating insights into projects and initiatives conducted in the spirit of ‘openness’. Finally, ‘Open Data: The Golden Age of Discovery’ is a short documentary on the growing relevance of Open Data and Big Data not only to the academic community, but to humanity as a whole. Find out more at openspires.it.ox.ac.uk. The Openness at Oxford project was initiated, filmed and edited by two student at Oxford: Suzy Shepherd, an undergraduate in Classics, and Adelina Tomova, a postgraduate in Modern Languages.
