In today’s entry to the 23 good reasons for Open Education series, Christian Lachapelle and Paul Lyonnaz investigate the relationship between openness and creativity. As they put it, “OER are all designated as tools for engaging students in their learning, due to their adaptability, openness and accessibility qualities”. Christian Lachapelle and Paul Lyonnaz work in two “Fabriques REL”, projects in Québec and in Nantes with the goal of creating and helping create OERs. Christian works at Sherbrooke University, Canada, and Paul is at Nantes Université.
