Abstract

The article presents a case study of a course design which is based on the concept of open educational practices. The course took place during times of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in which universities in Europe had to stop their presential operation and had to move teaching and learning entirely online. The case study presents in which way the concept of student-centred learning, of problem-based learning and of involving the public into higher education learning has been realised. Students’ feedback is analysed and conclusions are drawn.
