Open Webslides provides a platform to create course material that promotes co-creation and makes full use of modern web technologies to promote an (inter)active and accessible learning environment.
One-way street
Education is still too often a one-way street, where students are expected to simply digest the material with little to no activity on their part
Feedback process
Welcoming and processing feedback from students or colleagues is not a streamlined, elegant process but can instead be a time-consuming chaos
Media integration
Embedding media or flipped classroom tools is either impossible or not as straightforward as it should be
Locked down
Learning material is often reliant on specific versions of closed software packages unavailable on older machines and mobile devices
Course context
Placing one subject's narrative in a bigger picture by linking to other courses is difficult at best due to technological constraints
Community
Ideas for better learning material are not always shared or implemented on a large enough scale that could benefit the educational community
Online platform
A user-friendly and accessible platform for co-creation of course material, allowing the teachers and students to participate in the creation of educational content
Open and free
Powered by open source technology, Open Webslides is completely free to use and adapt to your needs
Share and collaborate
By using linked courses and publications, Open Webslides promotes multiperspectivism and a broader narrative
