The document summarizes work done by the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland project to facilitate open education in Scotland. It discusses partnerships developed with organizations to co-produce open educational resources and learning experiences. Through learner workshops, the project found that structure, peer support, and recognition from trusted sources are important for motivating learners. The document concludes that applying open educational practices means operating at the intersection of production and use by focusing on learners and knowledge production in new contexts through open partnerships.
