Opening up Resources for Learning and Teaching in the Social Sciences

C-SAP Open Educational Resources Project
This new initiative will work across three main areas; institutionally managed learning materials, individually developed materials, and materials drawn from across a set of subject areas in conjunction with individuals and departments. It is this latter area that C-SAP, as one the Higher Education Academy Subject Centres, will operate within for the purpose of this pilot project.
